Creamy Broccoli Dal

Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup red lentils, rinsed
2 cups broccoli stalks and florets, stalks peeled and everything finely chopped (a food processor helps with this!) – we usually use one broccoli crown with its stem
2 cups water or vegetable broth
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 tbsp soy sauce (or salt to taste)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp Aleppo chili flakes
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

Method
1. Add oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add in the cumin and mustard seeds, and cook until fragrant, around a minute. Add in the onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, around 8 minutes. Add in rinsed lentils, broccoli and water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are soft.
2. Remove from heat and add in soy milk, soy sauce, lemon juice, turmeric, garam masala and chili flakes. Adjust salt to taste. Serve immediately. Can serve with rice, but usually I just eat it like a soup!
