  1. COOK DAHL

    Place a large pot over a low-medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When the oil is hot, add the diced onion, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Fry for 2-3 minutes, shifting occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the Spice & Stock mix to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the rinsed red lentils and 180ml of water. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low-medium and pop on the lid. Allow it to cook for 8-10 minutes until the lentils are soft, only stirring occasionally.

  2. TOASTED SESAMES

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until they begin to pop, shifting regularly. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  3. ADDED VEG

    Once the red lentils are cooked, add in the shredded spinach, chopped pickled peppers, and the coconut cream. Stir to combine and allow to cook for about 3-5 minutes with the lid off. Season to taste. Should the dahl be too thick, simply add a splash of water.

  4. FRESHNESS

    In a small bowl, combine the coconut yoghurt with ½ of the chopped coriander and seasoning to taste.

  5. BRING THE CRISP

    Place a clean pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time for 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts curling, use a spatula or tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up.

  6. PLATE UP

    Plate up the dahl, dollop over the coriander coconut yoghurt, and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve with sprinkles of the remaining coriander and the crispy poppadom on the side. Well done, Chef!
