Dahl


This is my first try with dahl- I'm all about the cheap dried legumes nowadays- I think it turned out very nicely. I'm eating it atop jasmine rice with some kale and sriracha

Saute together:

1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
oil

add:
1 c lentils
water to cover
1 t cumin
1 t coriander
2 t curry
1/4t cayenne
1/2 t grated ginger
1 t salt

boil for about 15 minutes or until lentils are soft, stirring often
add more water if necessary
adjust seasoning as needed
