Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Peel and grate the ginger. TIP: Use a teaspoon to easily scrape away the peel.
Peel and chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks.
Halve the lime.

Build the Flavour
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Once hot, add the ginger, Sri Lankan style curry powder and tomato puree. Stir together and cook for 1 min.
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 the 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. Add a splash of water if it looks a little dry.

Cheat's Chapati Time
4

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil).
Once hot, dry-fry your whole meal tortillas for 30 secs on each side - you want your tortillas to char slightly, but keep an eye on them.
Transfer them to a plate, spread each one with a little butter (if you have any), then make a chapati pile. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Add the Spinach
5

Once the dal is cooked, stir through the baby spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

Squeeze a little lime juice into the dal. Taste and add more salt, pepper and lime juice if needed.
Serve in bowls with the chapatis alongside for scooping up the dal. Enjoy!
