- 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups onion diced, about 3 medium
- 5 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tbs fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 Teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 Teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 Teaspoons coriander seeds
- 2 Teaspoons mustard seeds
- 1 tbs ground tumeric
- 2 Teaspoons garam masala
- 1 cup dried lentils 10 Tablespoons, 2 Teaspoons dried red lentils, uncooked (rinsed and drained)
- 1 14.5 oz can peeled tomatoes
- 1 14 oz can coconut milk
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- salt and pepper
- 3 tbs lemon juice
- 4 cups spinach
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flake and cook for a few minutes.
- Grind the cumin, coriander and mustard seeds lightly in a pestle and mortar, then add to the pan, along with the turmeric and garam masala, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the lentils, tomatoes with their juice, coconut milk and broth, then stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and cook on medium-low for 15-20 minutes, until reduced and thick.
- If you have time, you can leave it a little longer on very low heat for even more flavor (just stir often and check it doesn't scorch the bottom of the pan). Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
- Stir in lemon juice and spinach until it wilts.
- Serve with warm rice, naan or poppadoms.
Reheating Instructions
