Ingredients
- 2 onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 cm of fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 liter of vegetable stock
- 200 gr lentils (green or yellow)
- 4 carrots
- 1 middle sized sweet potato
- 3-4 large leaves of savoy or palm cabbage
- Coconut milk
Preparation
This hearty dahl is great for a cold winter day. It’s filled with winter vegetables and the ginger warms your body from the inside. The carrots give the dahl a sweet touch, while it keeps a bite through the crunchiness of the savoy cabbage. It tastes great in combination with (brown) rice or naan bread. Enjoy!
- Slice the onions in small pieces and simmer in a bit of coconut or olive oil for about 5-10 minutes until glazy and soft.
- In the meantime, mince the garlic and ginger (or cut in small pieces).
- Add to onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Then add the curry and tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Once it starts to smell, add the lentils and give it a good stir so everything is nicely covered in spices.
- Add a little bit of the vegetable stock so all lentils are covered with a bit of water (don’t add too much yet). Add the lit and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Cut your carrots in 1 cm pieces and your sweet potato in 2 cm pieces.
- Add both to the pot with more vegetable stock and cook for 10 minutes with the lit on.
- Slice your cabbage so they fit on your fork, but don’t make them too small because you want to keep the bite.
- When the 10 minutes of your potatoes and carrots are over, add the cabbage and coconut milk and simmer for another 10-12 minutes until all your veggies are ready.
