¼ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp salt, to taste
1 small piece of fresh ginger thinly sliced
1 large handful of spinach leaves

DIRECTIONS
Rinse the lentils a few times under cold running water to get rid of any extra starch. Once the water is running clear, you're set!
Meanwhile, heat the oil and cook the cumin seeds for around a minute until a darker brown, then add the turmeric powder, grated ginger, and chopped tomatoes. Then immediately pour in the yellow lentils and all the water.

Next, add salt, baby spinach and thin ginger slices. Keep boiling on low to medium heat until the lentils are soft and cooked, stirring regularly.
Then stir in the coconut milk.
Optional- sizzle some coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves in some oil and drizzle it in your bowl.
