PREP THE DHAL!
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the Onion, ¾ of the sliced Chilli and the Tandoori rub to taste, and fry for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the drained Lentils, the diced tomatoes and 20ml of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickening for 10-15 minutes. Add more water if it starts to dry out. In the final 1-2 minutes add in the spinach to wilt. Season and add a sweetener of choice to taste.
POPP-ADOMS...
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. On completion, gently break into quarters. Set aside.
MELTING MOMENT!
Spread out the tomato and lentil dhal in an even layer in an ovenproof dish and scatter over the grated cheese mix. Pop in the oven for 6-7 minutes until the cheese has melted and started bubbling.
DOLLOPING DELIGHT
In a bowl, combine the coriander & hemp pesto, Lemon zest and the Yoghurt. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
A FUSION FEAST!
Pile on the delicious dhal and surround with the Poppadom “nachos” for scooping it up. Garnish with some fresh coriander, any remaining chilli, and dollops of pesto yoghurt. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Eat it while it's hot!
