Try this flavorful lentil and vegetable dhal for a nutritious meal.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil or macadamia oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 210g (1 cup) split yellow lentils or red lentils, rinsed, drained
  • 3 vine-ripened tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 1 potato, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tsp brown mustard seeds
  • 2 sprigs fresh curry leaves
  • 12 (about 30g) pappadums, microwaved, to serve
  • Lime cheeks, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoons of oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and chili and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Combine the lentils, tomato, potato, and 1L (4 cups) water in a pan and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 30-35 minutes until the lentils are very soft.
  • In a small frying pan over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add mustard seeds and curry sprigs, stirring, for 30 seconds until the seeds start to pop. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle the dhal with fresh curry sprigs and spoon over the mustard seeds and any remaining oil from the pan. Serve with pappadums and lime cheeks on the side.
