Curried Vegetables With Dahl
One of the girls in my lunch bunch made this for us. I loved it and she was kind enough to share the recipe. Adapted from moosewood.
Steps
Rinse the lentils well.
In a saucepan , add water and lentils.
Cover pan and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat , uncover the pan , and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender.
In a big soup pot , heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add onion and minced chile.
Saute for several minutes.
Add the sweet potatoes , curry powder , cumin , and ginger.
Saute 2-3 minutes , stirring often.
Add in the 2 cups of water.
Add the cauliflower florets and bell peppers.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
While the vegetables are simmering , pour the lentils and their cooking liquid into the container of an electric blender and puree for 2-3 minutes , to make a smooth dahl.
When the cauliflower is tender , add in the spinach , lentil puree , and lemon juice.
Simmer just until the spinach has wilted.
Add salt to taste and serve.
