How to Make Masoor Dal Tadka | Indian Red Lentil Dal Recipe
DWELL by Michelle
There's nothing like a warm bowl of authentic Masoor Dal Tadka on a cold evening! I learned this Indian Red Lentil Dal recipe from a friend who lives in Kerala, and it hits the spot every time I make it! Featuring aromatic and perfectly spiced lentils on a bed of warm Basmati rice - I guarantee you'll love this authentic Indian recipe. Absolutely delicious! Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.
In a large pot, add lentils and water. Bring to a boil and simmer until lentils are fully cooked and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Saute until onions are transluscent and garlic is fragrant.
Add in carrots, onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, chili, salt, and pepper. Saute until carrots are soft. Then add in the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Add more salt and pepper, if needed. Use a spatula to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.
Once the lentils are done, add in the cooked lentils and enough water as needed into the pan. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is well combined.
Stir in the coconut milk and simmer for 7 more minutes, or until dal is at your preferred consistency.
Serve over freshly steamed rice and garnish with fresh parsley. ENJOY!
