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.
