Receta India, Dahl de lentejas rojas (mi favorito)

red lentils

🥗Healthier: green lentils

💰Cheaper: brown lentils

Green lentils maintain texture better, while brown lentils are often less expensive.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water with seasonings

Homemade stock is lower in sodium and richer in flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is still healthy.

bay leaves

🥗Healthier: thyme

💰Cheaper: oregano

Thyme and oregano can provide similar aromatic qualities.

Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a pot, heat the oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.

Add the diced pumpkin and chopped tomatoes, cooking until they start to soften.

Stir in the paprika, ginger, and curry, cooking for another minute to release the flavors.

Add the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, and vegetable broth to the pot.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the lentils are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
