Instructions

Get Prepped
1

If you don't have a toaster, heat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 for the naans.
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, tikka paste, and tomato puree. Stir together and cook for 1 min.
Pour in the water for the dal (see pantry for amount), coconut milk, and veg 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.

Add the Spinach
4

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

Heat the Naans
5

Toast the naans in your toaster until golden.If you're using the oven, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with a little water and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 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 naan alongside for scooping up the dal. Enjoy!
