Coconut Dal

An easy homemade lentil curry. I’ve learned today a lot about Indian curries and lentils. What I definitely know is, that the curry at home somehow never will taste like the one in the restaurants. But this Dal is how I like to make it at home, because its fast and easy and a great source of protein. If there is something you don’t like about it, just change it to how you like it.

Steps
- 1
Wash the lentils. Cut the vegetables in little dices. Heat up some oil and fry the vegetables for about 5 min over a medium heat. Then add garam masala and tomato purée and fry over an high heat for 30 sec - 1 min. Start best with 1 tsp of garam masala because its a strong flavour. If you like it a bit stronger add up to 1 tbsp.

Pour in the tin tomatoes and add the lentils. Mix well. Pour in the coconut milk bring to the boil, then turn heat down and simmer for 25 min. Stir occasionally. Ive learned as well today, that the Indian Dal is normally a bit more watery. If you like it a bit more runny just add some more water. I prefer it not to thin and not to thick.

Then season with salt,chilli and pepper. If you like you can garnish with fresh coriander. Serve with naan or rice. Enjoy <3
