Amazing Dal

A comforting, fragrant, and deeply satisfying dish — rich in flavor, vegan, and perfect with rice or quinoa.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp cumin seeds
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1–2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
• 1 tbsp ground turmeric
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas
• 3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk or almond milk
• 1 pack baby spinach (142 g)
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• Salt, to taste
  
  

Instructions

1. Heat the coconut oil in a wide pan. Add the cumin seeds and toast for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook on low heat for 2 minutes, stirring, until the garlic softens and the spices release their aroma.
3. Add the sweet potato chunks, chickpeas, tomatoes, and coconut/almond milk. Stir well, then cover.
4. Simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
5. Add the spinach, stir, and cook just until wilted.

Serve warm over rice or quinoa.


Enjoy!
