Ingredients
3 cup Water |
1 cup Black Lentils (Urad Dal) |
2 cup Water |
2 head medium (5-6 inch dia.) Cauliflower, raw (broken into small flowerets) |
1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk |
1/4 tsp. Salt |
1 to taste Black pepper |
Instructions
When the water is boiling add the lentils, stir and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook slowly until the lentils are tender and the water is evaporated - about 20 to 25 minutes.
You may have to add more water if the water evaporates before the lentils are tender. Add water 1/4 cup at a time.
When the lentils are done, set aside.
While the lentils are cooking, place 2 cups water in a medium stock pot fitted with a steamer basket over high heat.
Place the cauliflower in the steamer basket and steam for about 20 - 25 minutes until soft.
Using a blender or a stick blender, pureé the cauliflower until smooth.
Add the light coconut milk, salt, and pepper, and pureé.
Fold the lentils into the cauliflower and serve.

The combination of the nutty lentils and creamy, sweet cauliflower makes for an all purpose side dish: both a great starch and a vegetable in one. This is a great accompaniment for roasted chicken, pork or beef.
