Red Lentil Dal

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium to high heat. Add cumin seeds and toast lightly for 1 minute.
2. Add onion, jalapeno, garlic, and ginger and cook for 3 minutes, until onions just begin to turn translucent.
3. Add turmeric, paprika, cardamom, and tomato to the pan and stir to fully incorporate. Allow to cook for 3 minutes until the tomato begins to break down.
4. Add lentils and stock and bring the pot up to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
5. Once lentils are broken down and tender, stir in coconut milk and lemon juice. Serve while hot. Garnish each serving with the minced fresh cilantro.
