Spicy dhal pairs perfectly with lamb or chicken.

Ingredients:

200g (1 cup) dried split red lentils
20.00 ml yellow mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 large brown onion, thinly sliced
20.00 ml fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
625ml (2 1/2 cups) water
1 green jalapeno chilli, thinly sliced
Lemon wedges, to serve
Bought naan bread, warmed, to serve

Instructions:

Rinse the lentils under cold running water in a sieve until water runs clear, then set aside.
In a medium saucepan, gently warm the oil over low heat. Introduce the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and sauté, stirring frequently, for 1 minute until fragrant.
Turn up the heat to medium and up the flavor by adding the onion, ginger, and garlic. Stir frequently for 3 minutes until the onion softens. Mix in the lentils and water, ensure they are well combined. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the mixture thickens nicely.
Garnish with chili, lemon wedges, and serve with naan bread.
