Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups split yellow lentils (mung dahl)
water to cover
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 teaspoons cumin seeds
½ teaspoon asafoetida powder
2 large tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
½ cup water, or more as needed
3 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon Aleppo red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 bunches fresh spinach, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon garam masala

Steps:

  • Rinse split mung dahl beans and drain. Place in a medium-large saucepan over high heat and add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer, splashing in more water if lentils get too dry, until softened, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and fry until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add asafoetida and cook until browned, about 10 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and 1/2 to 1 cup water, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Add coriander, Aleppo pepper, and turmeric. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in spinach, cover, and cook until bright green, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove lentils from heat. Drain excess water but leave 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Stir in the spinach mixture and return pan to medium-low heat. Mix in lemon juice, sea salt, and garam masala. Simmer until desired consistency is reached, 5 to 10 minutes more.

I didn't have any spinach on hand, so I used kale instead. It worked out great! The kale added a slightly bitter flavor that I really enjoyed.
