- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 ½ cup onion diced, about 3 medium
- 5 clove garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground tumeric
- 2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 cup dry lentil 10 Tablespoons, 2 Teaspoons dried red lentils, uncooked (rinsed and drained)
- 14 ounce canned whole peeled plum tomatoes 1 can
- 14 ounce canned coconut milk 1 can
- 2 cup vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cup spinach leaves
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.
