Instructions

Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear.

Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Add garlic, ginger, cumin, turmeric and garam masala. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the rinsed lentils, crushed tomatoes, coconut milk and vegetable stock.

Bring to the boil then reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils break down and the dal is thick.

Season with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Serve over rice with fresh coriander.
