Easy Vegan Red Lentil Dal: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the cumin seeds, turmeric powder, garam masala, and coriander powder. Stir for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  5. Add the rinsed red lentils to the pot and mix well with the spices and aromatics.
  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Taste and add salt as needed. Adjust the consistency with more broth or water if desired.
  9. Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro if using.
  10. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
