• 1 small onion (thinly sliced) - بصلة
• 1 large carrots (grated) - جزر
• 2 medium zucchini (grated) - كوسة
• 2 small garlic cloves (minced) - فصوص ثوم
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated) - جنزبيل
• 3/4 teaspoon turmeric - كركم
• 1 cup yellow lentils - عدس أصفر
• 2 cup water - ماء
• 1 cup coconut milk - لبن جوز الهند
• 2 handful spinach - سبانخ

Step by step

1. Heat olive oil in a medium pot. Sauté sliced onions for about 4 minutes on low heat. Add grated carrots and zucchini and sauté for another 3 minutes.
2. Add minced garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt and pepper and stir for another 3 minutes.
3. Add lentils and water, let it come to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low, half cover, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes.
4. When lentils are almost cooked and water reduced, add the coconut milk and let it simmer further until the lentils are soft. This Dahl needs to be a little saucy so you might need to add a little water if needed.
5. Turn off the heat, add spinach and cover. Spinach will be wilted from the heat within 2 minutes. Give it a quick stir, adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve with white rice or brown bread.
