- 3/4 cup red lentils (masoor dal)
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups water (or vegetable broth)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 hot green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- a pinch of asafoetida (hing, optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy yogurt
- chopped cilantro
- lemon juice
Rinse the lentils thoroughly to remove dirt and excess starch, then drain.
Add the lentils, chopped tomatoes, dried fenugreek, turmeric, salt, and water to a pot. Partially cover and cook until the lentils are tender. Don't worry, it's very easy!
Once the lentils are cooked, stir gently to achieve a creamy consistency. You can leave it chunkier or creamier according to your preference.
Mix in the plant-based yogurt for extra creaminess, cook for another minute, and turn off the heat.
In a small pan, heat the oil. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they change color. Now we've reached the most enjoyable part!
Reduce the heat and add the garlic and chili, cooking until the garlic turns golden. Add the hing and immediately turn off the heat, then mix in the red chili powder.
Pour this hot tadka over the dal, stir gently. Serve topped with cilantro and lemon juice. Are you ready?
