Spiced aromatic dahl, perfect for a cozy TV dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 750ml chicken stock
  • 36.80 gm sunflower oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 long green chilli, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml panch phora (see note) or mustard seeds
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 20.00 ml ground coriander
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala (Indian spice mix)
  • 400g yellow split peas, rinsed, soaked in water for 1 hour, drained
  • 800g can chopped tomatoes
  • 100g baby spinach leaves
Instructions:
  • In a pan over medium heat, heat oil. Saute onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and ginger, cook for another minute. Add spices, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Combine peas, stock, tomatoes, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups (375ml) water in a pot. Bring to a gentle simmer, then lower heat and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender and the dahl reaches a thick, rich consistency.
  • Mix in fresh baby spinach leaves until they are incorporated, then plate alongside fluffy rice and delicious side dishes.
