Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces. Peel the sweet potato, then chop into 2cm chunks.

Start the Dal
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the ginger puree, Sri Lankan style curry powder and tomato puree. Stir together and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the water for the dal (see ingredients for amount), coconut milk and vegetable stock paste. Stir to combine.

Simmer the Dal
3

Add the sweet potato and red lentils to your pan and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook until the lentils and sweet potato are soft, 20-25 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking. TIP: If the dal is looking a little dry, just add a splash of water.

Make the Salsa
4

Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Zest and halve the lime. Pop the lime zest into a bowl with the dukkah mix and coriander. Add the olive oil for the salsa (see ingredients for amount), a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together and set aside.

Cheat's Chapati
5

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil). When the pan is hot, dry-fry your wholemeal tortillas for 30 secs on each side - you want your tortillas to char slightly, so keep an eye on them. Transfer each tortilla to a plate, making a chapati pile (spread each one with a little butter, if you have any). Keep them warm by covering the plate with foil.

Finish and Serve
6

Once the dal is cooked, stir through the baby spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. Squeeze in a little lime juice. Taste and add more salt, pepper or lime juice if needed. Serve in bowls with the dukkah salsa on top and the chapatis on the side. Enjoy!
