How to Make Dhall Lentil Tomato Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 chopped medium onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup red lentils, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 (28 ounce) can of undrained chopped tomatoes to the pot.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of water and stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 50-60 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. While the curry simmers, mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  6. Once the lentils are cooked, carefully transfer about half of the curry to a blender. Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth. Repeat with the remaining curry.
  7. Return the blended curry to the pot. Stir in the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or other oil of choice).
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
