Indian food is one of those things that I can go weeks without thinking about, but then when I want some curry, I want it now. Back when we lived in the big city, there was an awesome hole in the wall Indian restaurant on our block, but pickings are a little slim out here in horse country. Fortunately, vegetarian dal such as this are very quick and easy to make.
Spicy Red Lentil Dal
canola oil
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup red lentils
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
parsley
greek yogurt, for topping
In a large saute pan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic for a few minutes, add in the spices and cook a couple minutes more. Add in lentils, tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, and simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes. Serve with rice, top with parsley and greek yogurt.
