Nourishing Cauliflower and Lentil Dal

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pot on medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and slowly cook for 5 mins. Season with ¼ tsp of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Tip: If the onion starts to brown off turn the heat down a bit.

Once the onion is soft add the curry powder and stir.

Stir in the tomato paste and then add the tinned tomatoes. Add another ¼ tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of sugar (if you have some). Add the red lentils, 200ml of water and half a stock pot. Bring to a gentle bubble, put on a lid and leave for 5 mins.

Remove the lid and add the cauliflower. Cook for around 15 mins or until the cauliflower is tender.

When the cauliflower is almost done add the green beans and cook for 5 mins. Tip: Don’t worry if the dahl is drying out a little - just add a bit more water to get a looser consistency.

Stir through 2 tbsp of chopped coriander and 2 tbsp of yoghurt. Tip: At this stage it’s crucial to taste for seasoning - have a spoonful and add more salt and pepper to lift the flavours to their max!
