Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 cups red lentils (can use part yellow split peas or split mung beans, or a combination of two or more)
6 cups water
One 28 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 large onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tablespoons fresh grated ginger
1 Tablespoon turmeric
3 green cardamom pods
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons each: cumin seeds, mustard seeds, onion seeds (nigella), fenugreek seeds (see notes)
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
Hot cooked brown rice
cilantro, optional
extra onion and cumin seeds, optional
fresh lemon juice, optional

Steps:

Place red lentils and yellow split peas into a large bowl and cover with water. Let soak for a few minutes and swish to wash the lentils and split peas. Drain well and rinse. Place in a slow cooker and add the 6 cups water. Add the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cardamom pods, bay leaf, salt and black pepper.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add all of the seeds to the pan. Shake the pan while on the heat, or use a wooden spoon to stir, while toasting the seeds. When they smell fragrant, remove from heat and transfer to the slow cooker. (It will probably bubble up a bit as the hot seed hit the liquid.) Stir well to combine all ingredients. Place lid on slow cooker and let cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
Remove lid after cooking time and stir. Taste and if lentils are not soft, cook for another 30-60 minutes, if needed. Add more salt and pepper, if needed.
To serve - Ladle the daal over brown rice and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon, cilantro, and more seeds, if desired.

EASY SLOW COOKER DAL

Easy Slow Cooker Dal image

You're going to love this easy, creamy slow cooker dal, which is a cinch to make using inexpensive pantry ingredients! It's rich and nourishing yet bright and healthy. Serve the dal as a side dish, or turn it into a full meal by pairing it with rice and/or naan bread and sautéed vegetables (we especially love this with garlicky sautéed greens, such as kale, spinach or Swiss chard). If you'd like, you can also serve shredded rotisserie chicken alongside. I prefer to use light coconut milk in this recipe, as it gives the dal a silkier texture (you can use full-fat but it will be a bit thicker). If you want to skip the stovetop prep you can simply cook the aromatics in the microwave (I've included instructions below!). Be sure to cook the dal on low heat, not high (see the Notes below). For a stovetop version, check out my book Build-a-Bowl!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon neutral vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups dried red lentils, rinsed and drained
1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
1/2 lime
Rice and/or naan bread
Sautéed greens, such as kale, spinach, collard greens or Swiss chard
Chopped cilantro or mint
Toasted cashews
Mango chutney

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, curry powder and cumin. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute longer. (Alternatively, combine everything, including the spices, in a heatproof bowl and microwave on high, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.) Scrape the mixture into a 4- to 7-quart slow cooker.
Add the lentils, coconut milk, water and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the lentils are tender (they should be slightly firm but not crunchy), about 5-6 hours on low (it takes 6 hours in my KitchenAid 6 quart model); do not use high heat. Squeeze in the juice from 1/2 lime, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the dal as-is as a side dish, or turn it into a full meal by serving it with rice and/or naan bread and sautéed greens. Let people garnish their dishes with cilantro or mint, toasted cashews and/or mango chutney.

SLOW COOKER RED LENTIL DAHL

Slow Cooker Red Lentil Dahl image

my attempt to make dahl in my crock pot/slow cooker. i love dahl but the stovetop fashion is time consuming. NOTE that all spices and seasonings here are more or less to taste. you could just stick to garlic, ginger, curry powder & some red pepper flakes to keep things simple. we'll see how this turns out...
