Dal is wonderful comfort food. Spiced lentils can be eaten alone or over rice, and they taste even better the next day. This dal has a little pizzazz in the form of mango.
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow lentils
- 4 cups water
- ½ tsp. turmeric
- 1 tsp. salt, divided
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- ½ tsp. cumin seeds
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
- ½ tsp. ground coriander
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- 2 mangoes, peeled and diced
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Combine lentils, water, turmeric, and half of salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally until partially cooked (15 minutes).
- While lentils cook, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until fragrant and starting to brown (30 seconds).
- Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown (4-6 minutes). Add garlic, ginger, coriander, cayenne, and the remaining half of salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant (1 minute).
- Stir the garlic mixture and mango into the lentils. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are falling apart (10-15 minutes).
- Stir in cilantro to serve.
