Instructions

1

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel!). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Halve the half the baby plum tomatoes, and set the other half aside for later.


TESTER: would please could you check if at the end you think peeled sweet potato would be better?


2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and fry until softened, 2-3 mins, stiring constantly. Add the sweet potato and the lentils and stir for 1 min. Pour in the water (see ingredients for amounts), stock powder, tomato puree, curry paste and peanut butter and stir still all is melted and combined. Place the lid on the pan and allow to simmer for 20-25 mins, stiring every 3-4 mins, so it doesn't catch on the bottom.

3

Heat medium/large frying pan over medium heat (no oil!) Once hot, add the dessicated coconut and chilli flakes (add less if you don't like it too spicy) and cook, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted and fragrant, 1-2 mins. TIP: Watch it like a hawk as it can burn easily. Once toasted transfer to a bowl. Slice the remaining plum tomatoes into quarter the baby plum tomatoes and add to the spicy coconut along with the coriander. Stir to combine and set aside for later.

4

Check on you dahl, if its looking a little dry add a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Have a quick little tidy while t fishes up.

5

Meanwhile, 5 mins before serving pop the naans under gril or in a toaster to warm through for 5 mins.

6

Divide the dahl between bowls and top with the coconut salsa. Serve with the naan. Enjoy!
