Fruits and Veggies Monday - Lentils, Especial

A happy day to you all. I hope i’m not late to my #fruitsandveggiesmonday entry today. I have been so busy this week and I really don’t want to miss this week. #fruitsandveggiesmonday by @lenasveganliving and hosted by @plantstoplanks.

This humble and delicious Lentils is so easy and very nutritious. There are many types of lentils but my favorite to cook is the yellow and red one. They may differ in color but all has a similar taste and texture. Lentils are quick and easy, literally, bring lentils to boil, simmer and incorporate any vegetables you like.

Sometimes, I like my lentils with some herbs like Coriander leaves, I like it because it adds some zingy taste to the dish. So without much further ado, here is my recipe

Ingredients

• Water (2 - 3 cups)
• Lentils, yellow/red (1 cup)
• Turmeric powder, (½ tsp)
• Ground black pepper (⅓ tsp)
• Salt
• Onion, quartered
• Tomatoes, sliced (2 medium size)
• Moringa leaves
• Coriander, roughly chopped

Preparations

1. Wash the lentils and discard the water
2. In a pot of water with lentils, add the turmeric, black pepper, salt, tomatoes and onion. Add them all together and Bring to boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Add water if necessary
3. Once the lentils cooked and thickens, Add
4. The Moringa leaves and coriander.
5. Serve and Enjoy

It is soo good that you'll want some more!

TIP:

1. If you want additional flavor, Use rice water (the first wash of rice) instead of water or Add Pandan leaves.
2. Process in a food processor if you prefer a smooth consistency.
