Ingredients

  • 8.82 oz Love Beets Vac-pac Beetroot
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 Red Chiles
  • 1 tbsp Garam Masala
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 7.05 oz Red Lentils
  • 1 ⅔ cups Coconut Milk
  • ½ Lime
  • 1.06 oz Fresh Cilantro
  • 2 Green Onions

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor blitz the beetroot including the juice until pureed, then set aside.
  2. In a large deep pan, heat the oil on a medium heat and add the onion and ginger paste. Fry gently until soft but not colored. Add the garlic and chili and continue to fry on low for a further two minutes.
  3. Add the spices, stirring to combine, along with the salt.
  4. Add the lentils, the beetroot puree and the coconut milk. Simmer on a low heat, stirring every now and then to prevent sticking.
  5. Once the lentils have absorbed the puree and coconut, which should take about 30 mins, remove from the heat.
  6. Squeeze the lime over the dahl, and sprinkle over the coriander and the green onion. Serve with rice, naan, or simply enjoy as it is.
