Lentil dal is an easy and inexpensive meat-free meal to make for dinner, even on a busy weeknight! Although it may require some cooking time, there is very little prep work involved. Lentils are high in folate, and anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer polyphenols. They also contain about 12 grams of protein per quarter cup (uncooked)! Serve dal with cooked white or brown rice and this Raw Cilantro-Lime Chutney for an easy, nourishing meal.

3 cloves garlic
2½ teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoons garam masala
1 cups French lentils
4 cups water
1 cups diced tomatoes
1 teaspoons sea salt
½ cups heavy cream

Garnish

1 small handfuls cilantro chopped
