Dal is a thick Indian lentil stew that’s often served with naan flatbread. You can reduce the grams of carbohydrate by serving this dal with peeled and sliced jicama. It’s a crunchy, slightly sweet vegetable that looks like a potato.
Add olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger until onions turn clear (about 4 minutes).
Add lentils and stir to coat with oil. Add the broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Pureé the lentils using an immersion blender or food processor and stir in scallions.
Peel the jicama and slice into nine rounds. Cut each round into quarters. Use the raw jicama to dip into the dal.
