Introduction

Lots of vegetables and possibilites for variation make this a dinner winner. You can add cauliflower, sweet potatoes, peas, etc to make your daal stretch further. For truly vegetarian daal, substitute vegetable broth, of course. Lots of vegetables and possibilites for variation make this a dinner winner.

Ingredients

    1 bell pepper, diced small (use 1/2 red and 1/2 yellow for pretty colors)
    1 large onion, diced small
    3 stalks celery, diced small
    3 cloves garlic (at least), minced
    2 tbsp peanut oil (or olive/vegetable oil)
    4 tbsp Indian spices (I use 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp chili powder)
    2 cups brown lentils, rinsed and picked over
    3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    up to 1 cup water

Directions

Heat oil in large skillet. Add spices and stir until fragrant, about one minute. Add garlic, pepper, onion and celery and cook until onions are beginning to turn translucent. Add lentils and toss with vegetables, then add chicken broth. Bring to boil uncovered, then reduce heat and cover, allowing a little steam to escape. Add up to 1 cup water if lentils become too dry. When lentils are soft (you can almost squish them between your fingers), scoop some into a blender and puree. Add back to skillet for a nice, thick daal. Eat with naan or over rice.
