Step 1

Rinse the lentils in a fine-mesh sieve under running water until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the drained lentils to the pot and stir to coat them in the spice mixture. Add the coconut milk, water, and salt and stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the dahl has thickened.

Step 6

Remove from heat and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if needed.

Step 7

To serve, ladle the dahl into bowls and sprinkle with chopped coriander. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Step 8

Enjoy your quick and flavorful coconut dahl!
