Cozy up with flavorful dhal loaded with sweet potato, chickpeas, and warming spices. A must-try comfort dish.
Ingredients:
  • 400g can chickpeas
  • 13.80 gm vegetable oil
  • 1 small brown onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • Pinch dried chilli flakes, plus extra to serve
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1cm piece fresh ginger, peeled, finely grated
  • 375.00 ml dried red lentils
  • 1 litre vegetable liquid stock
  • 150g sweet potato, peeled, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves, plus extra to serve
  • Plain yoghurt, to serve
  • Pappadums, to serve
Instructions:
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas, setting aside 2 tablespoons in a small bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons of oil. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until softened, then add cumin, ground coriander, chili, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lentils, then add stock, sweet potato, and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until sweet potato is tender and the mixture thickens.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the reserved chickpeas and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes until they are lightly browned and crispy. Remove from heat.
  • Mix in chopped coriander with the dhal, season generously with salt and pepper. Top with a dollop of yogurt, crispy chickpeas, extra dried chili flakes, and more coriander. Enjoy with pappadums.
