Canned coconut milk1 can (14 oz)
Onion1 medium
Garlic3 cloves
Ginger1 tbsp
Cumin1 tsp
Salt1 tsp
Spinach2 cups

Method

1

Rinse split peas under cold water and drain. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and mince the ginger root.

2

Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

3

Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add garam masala, turmeric, and cumin; stir for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

5

Pour in rinsed split peas, vegetable broth, and canned coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peas break down and the dal becomes thick and creamy.

6

Stir in salt. Add spinach (or chosen protein/vegetable alternative) and cook until wilted or heated through, about 2 minutes.

7

Ladle into bowls and serve warm. Adjust consistency with additional broth if needed.
