Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 210°C. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.  Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve. Zest your lime and then cut into quarters, keep to one side. Chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel!).

2

Pop the sweet potato chunks on a large baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out and roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

3

Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and season with salt and sugar (if you have some). Cook, stirring, until softened and slightly caramelized, 4-5 mins. Add the garlic, ginger puree and north Indian style spice mix. Stir and cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins. Add the lentils, black beans and passata and cook for 1 minute more.

4

Add the veg stock powder and water (see ingredients for amount), stir to combine. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, pop the lid on and simmer on a medium-low heat until the lentils are tender, 20-25 mins. Check often to give a stir, ensuring the lentils don't stick to the bottom of the pan. The lentils are done when they are very soft. TIP: If the dahl start to dry out, add a splash of water.

5

Have a quick tidy up whilst the dal is cooking! When the dal is almost cooked, pop the naans in the oven and warm through for 3-4 mins. (Once the sweet potato is roasted, add to the dal). Stir in the kale, a handful at a time and simmer until wilted, 3-4 mins. Tip: Cover the pan to help wilt the kale if needed. Remove from the heat, then add half the coriander, a squeeze of half the lime and 3/4 of the creme fraiche. Stir well to combine.

6

Mix the lime zest through the remaining creme fraiche. Divide your black bean dal between your bowls, finish with dollop of the lime creme fraiche. Serve with a sprinkle of the remaining coriander, lime wedges and warmed naan. Enjoy!
