Lentil Dal

1 c. chopped onion
1 Tbs. minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. ground turmeric
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 c. chopped cauliflower florets
2 c. chopped tomato
2 1/2 c. water
1 c. dried lentils
2 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 Tbs. minced fresh cilantro
3/4 tsp. salt
6 cups hot cooked basmati or long grain rice

Directions ::..

Heat a large saucepan (nonstick or with Pam or broth) over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 5 ingredients (onion through garlic); saute 2

minutes. Add cauliflower and tomato; saute 1 minute. Stir in water and lentils; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 35 minutes or until lentils are tender. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Serve with rice.

My changes – I used canned tomatoes, used broth instead of water, left out the salt, and didn’t use the rice. I think you could use curry powder instead of the red pepper and turmeric.
