Ingredients
2 cups Mixed Dhal
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely diced
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger root
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 400g can coconut milk
1 400g can chopped tomatoes
3 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
Sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Olive oil or ghee for sautéing
To serve: plain yoghurt or coconut yoghurt, fresh coriander
Instructions
Place the Mixed Dhal in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for 4-6 hours. Drain and rinse well.
Heat a generous glug of oil in a large pot over a medium-low heat. Cook the onion until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further minute or so. Add the spices. Give these a minute or two in the pan to become fragrant. Add a splash of oil if the pan is dry.
Add the lentils, coconut milk, tomatoes, water and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30-35 minutes until the lentils are tender and the texture is thickened. Add the lemon juice and season to taste.
