hclf lentil dhal

Yes, I know how to cook non raw stuff;) this is one of my favorite go-to easy meals that I make all the time for dinner since the rest of my family is not vegan.  I can whip it up this mouthwatering dish pretty quick now because it’s usually my go-to when I’m starving and craving a cooked meal;) 

 

I pair it with jasmine rice, cucumber, and tomato as well as a side of greens which makes it phenomenal:) 

  
(two pictures two nights in a row) 

1/2 cup green lentils

1/2 cup red lentils 

1 cup water

1 cup vegetable broth 

1 teaspoon cumin

1teaspoon turmeric

1 tablespoon garam masala 

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine all in a pot and cover. Yep, it’s that easy! simmer over medium heat until it comes to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low and keep covered for 20+ minutes until lentils are at desired tenderness. The longer you leave the lentils on the burner and adding 1/2 cup more water when mostly evaporated makes the lentils super tender and soupy! pour on top of jasmine rice and top with mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers. enjoy!
