Lentil Dahl

flavourful side dish with any curry or great on its own with natural yogurt

1 regular can of brown lentils (or boil 1 and a half cups of dried lentils or split peas in vegetable broth with some salt and turmeric until they're very tender).

2 tbsns olive oil

2 chopped onions

1 (or more if you like) clove of garlic minced or crushed

1/2 tspn cumin

1 tspn turmeric

ground black pepper to taste

1/4 tsp hot chilli powder or cayenne pepper

1 cup coconut milk

Saute onions and garlic and spices in the oil till golden and fragrant, stirring continously, mix in drained lentils and reheat gently. When hot stir in the coconut milk, let it simmer till it reduces to preferred consistency (mine took about 10 minutes for the lentils and diced onion to get very mushy).

Very very delish!
