  1. MAKE YOUR CREAMY DHAL

    Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Cape Malay curry paste (to taste) for a minute until fragrant. Add the drained lentils, cooked chopped tomatoes, and 60ml of water. Mix to combine and bring to the boil. Stir through the shredded spinach, then reduce the heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the spinach has wilted. Remove from the heat on completion and stir in the crème fraîche. Season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice to taste.

  2. ASSEMBLE YOUR RAITA!

    Grate the cucumber onto some paper towel or a tea towel. Gently pat to soak up the excess water. Place the drained cucumber in a bowl with the yoghurt and mix in three-quarters of the chopped coriander. Season to taste and set aside for serving.

  3. LUSH NUTS

    Place the pistachios in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

  4. POPPIN’ CHICKPEA CRUMBLE

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained chickpeas for 10-12 minutes. For the crispiest results, only shift rarely. If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. At the halfway mark, add in the sultanas and a knob of butter (optional). Toast for the remaining time until the chickpeas are super crispy! Remove from the heat on completion, stir through the chopped pistachios, and season to taste.

  5. WARM THE ROTIS

    Place a clean pan over a medium heat. When hot, lightly toast the rotis for 30-60 seconds per side until heated through. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

  6. ALL DHAL’D UP!

    Spoon the delicious dhal into a bowl and top with the luxurious chickpea crumble. Garnish with the remaining chopped coriander and serve with the cucumber raita and rotis on the side. What a feast...
