Dahl Soup

As promised, here is one of the delicious recipes I've tried recently.  I found it in a cookbook titled Cookshelf Vegetarian.

2 T. butter
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 onion, chopped
1/2 t. turmeric
1 t. garam masala
1/4 t. chili powder
1 t. ground cumin
app. 36 oz. canned chopped tomatos, drained
1 cup red lentils
2 T. lemon juice
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 1/4 cups coconut milk

Melt butter in large saucepan, saute garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes, stir occasionally.  Add spices and cook for 30 seconds more.

Add tomatos, lentils, lemon juice, vegetable stock and coconut milk and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils are tender and cooked.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.
