Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 1 2/4 cup diced squash
  • 1/5 cup celery
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 5 thin slices of ginger
  • 4/5 cup canned tomatoes
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 cinnamon stick — you can also use half a teaspoon or to taste of cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil or other vegetable oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions
 

Cooked lentils:

  • Rinse the lentils thoroughly to wash away any debris.
  • In a small pot, add the lentils and 2–3 cups of water—this ensures that you won’t have to strain the lentils after cooking. Boil the lentils for about 20 minutes.
  • After boiling the lentils, add a teaspoon of curry powder and salt to taste.

Dhal:

  • Slice the garlic, ginger, and apio.
  • In a wok, heat the oil and add the sliced garlic and ginger for flavor.
  • After roasting the garlic and ginger, add the squash, apio, cardamom, and cinnamon stick.
  • Add the canned tomatoes and enough water just to cover the squash.
  • Boil everything until the water evaporates. Check if the squash is cooked—if you can pierce it with a fork, it is ready! Add salt and pepper to taste.

Plating:

  • You can either mix the squash and the lentils or place them separately on the plate.
