Lentils in Onion Gravy
(Serves 4)

In this dal, hearty lentils are cooked in a gravy made rich and flavorful with onions, spices, and vegan yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large yellow onion, minced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

  • 2 1/2 cups water

  • 1 cup lentils

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup vegan yogurt

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cover, and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Uncover, stir in the cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, and cayenne, and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring to coat the onion and garlic with the spices. Stir in the water, lentils, and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender and almost all liquid has evaporated, 40 to 45 minutes. Gradually stir in the vegan yogurt. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
