Ingredients
2 medium onions, copped into stripsSpray oil1 cup lentils3 cups water3 tsp Turmeric, ground 1 clove Garlic 1 tsp Cumin seed 1 tsp Coriander seed
1) In a frying pan, fry off onions in a little olive oil spray until soft. Allowing them to go brown/almost burn will add flavour.
2) In a separate pot put in one cup of lentils (red, or a mix of red and yellow) to 3 cups of cold water. Bring to the boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally until cooked.
3) When lentils are almost cooked, add in onions and spices and cook on a low heat for a further 5 minutes.
You can also put in chilli powder to taste and/or tomatoes (raw or tinned). If adding tomatoes don't put them in until the lentils have finished cooking as they stop lentils cooking properly.
You may need to add a little more water during cooking if your lentils become too thick. I like my dahl quite thick, but many prefer a more watery consistency - it's up to you!
