Como fazer Lentils With Zucchini
- Rinse 1 cup of brown or green lentils under cold water.
- In a medium pot, combine the lentils, 3 cups of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender, removing any foam that rises to the surface.
- While the lentils simmer, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a separate pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the pan and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 1 inch ginger (grated), 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (or to taste), and 2 medium zucchini (diced).
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is slightly softened.
- Add the cooked lentils to the zucchini mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon garam masala.
- Reduce heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a small pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle and turn brown (about 30 seconds).
- Serve the lentils hot, garnished with the cumin-ghee mixture. Enjoy!
