How to Make Coconut Dal
- Heat coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add chopped onion and ginger-garlic paste; saute for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder (adjust to taste), and curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add red lentils (masoor dal), coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro before serving.
- Serve hot over brown rice or quinoa, garnished with extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
