Red Lentil Dahl with Brown Rice and Plain Yogurt.



Only taking about 20 minutes and consisting of staple ingredients from your pantry makes this a favourite quick and easy meal. 

This makes just enough for two. Recipe can easily be doubled for four. 

Red Lentil Dahl

2 cups water
1/2 cup red lentils
1 small onion, diced fine. 
1 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp butter
2 tsp honey
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp each coriander and ground cumin
1 clove garlic diced (optional)
Ground cinnamon, cloves and sea salt to taste.

Cook the lentils and onion together about 20 mins until lentils are tender and just starting to fall apart, do not overcook. Add the butter, spices, honey and garlic and allow to simmer on low heat until sauce thickens to desired consistency, about 10 minutes. You may want to allow the flavours to mingle for a few extra minutes prior to serving. Serve over brown rice with organic plain yogurt. Try serving with homemade naan bread.
