Red Lentil Dal

Dice onions, finely chop garlic and ginger. Heat oil in a large pot, sauté onion, garlic, and ginger until translucent for 3 minutes. Add spices and sauté for another 5 minutes.

Wash red lentils in a sieve and drain. Then add them to the pot along with the canned tomatoes and coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a boil.

Simmer over low heat for approx. 20-30 minutes until the lentils are soft. If the dal becomes too thick, add a little water. Season with salt and pepper.
