How to Prepare Dal with Millet and Lentils [Vegan]

Start by soaking Beluga lentils for at least 6 hours. Then drain and rinse.
Next, rinse the millet very well.
In a medium saucepan on high heat, add 1 tablespoon of water. When the water begins to sputter, add the chopped onion, and cook stirring for about 3 minutes, adding water just as needed to prevent sticking (one tablespoon at a time).
Now add chopped carrot and bay leaf along with lentils and millet. Pour in hot water, a little bit over the level of the ingredients, and cook until the lentils are tender, 15-20 minutes. Check the water level during simmering and add more if necessary.
When the dal is cooked, stir in garlic powder, coconut milk, turmeric, pepper, and crushed Indian spice mix.
Finally, mix in nutritional yeast.
