Instructions

Get Prepped
1

If you don't have a toaster, preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 for the naans. 

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/4 tsp salt for the lentils.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve. 

When boiling, add the lentils to the water and cook until just tender, 5-6 mins (you'll finish cooking them in the sauce).

Cook the Lentils
2

Once cooked, drain in a sieve and set aside. 

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. 

Once hot, add the tikka masala paste, ginger puree and garlic. Cook until fragrant, stirring, for 1 min.

Simmer and Spice
3

Stir in the coconut milk, veg stock paste, sugarand water for the curry (see pantry for both amounts), then stir through the chickpeas. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins.

Toast the Naan
4

Once the chickpeas are cooked and the sauce has been cooking for 5 mins, add in the drained lentils to the pan and stir to combine.

Simmer until the lentils have completely softened and the curry has thickened, a further 5 mins.

Meanwhile, halve the naans and toast in your toaster until golden. Spread with the butter (see pantry for amount).

If you're using the oven, put the naans onto a baking tray and sprinkle with a little water. Pop into the oven to warm through, 3-4 mins

Finishing Touches
5

Add the spinach to the dal a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. TIP: If the dal is looking a little dry, just add a splash of water.

Serve Up
6

Share the dal between your bowls. Add a dollop of yoghurt on top.

Serve the toasted naan alongside for dipping and scooping.

Enjoy!
