Instructions

Get Prepped

1

a) Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.

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

c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 mins.

Simmer your Dal

2

a) Add the ginger puree, Sri Lankan style curry powder (use less if you'd prefer things milder), garlic and tomato puree to the pan. Stir together and cook for 1-2 mins more.

b) Stir in the vegetable stock paste, coconut milk and water for the dal (see pantry for amount), then bring to the boil.

c) Add the red lentils to your pan and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook until the lentils are soft, 20-25 mins. Stir occasionally to make sure they aren't sticking to the bottom of the pan and add a splash of water if it gets too dry.

Finish and Serve

3

a) Meanwhile, zest and halve the lime (see ingredients for amount). Trim and thinly slice the spring onion.

b) Once the dal is cooked, add a splash of water if it's a little dry. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

c) Squeeze in a little lime juice, then taste and add more if needed.

d) Add your dal to a large serving dish. Sprinkle over the spring onion and lime zest to finish.

Enjoy!
