BE LENTIL WITH ME
Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and the rub and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the rinsed lentils and 180ml of water. Bring up to a simmer then reduce the heat to medium-low and pop on a lid. Leave to cook for 8-10 minutes until the lentils are soft, only stirring occasionally and adding more water if necessary.
GOLDEN MUSHIES
Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced mushrooms and fry for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion and season to taste.
POPPADOMS
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadom 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. Drain on paper towel.
IT’S CHILLI OUTSIDE
Once the lentils are cooked, set the lid aside and add the shredded kale, the coconut cream, the chilli flakes (to taste), and ½ the fried mushrooms to the pot. Mix until fully combined. Leave to cook for 4-5 minutes until the kale is wilted, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
PARSLEY YOGHURT
In a small bowl, combine the coconut yoghurt, ½ the chopped parsley, and seasoning.
DHAL-ICIOUS!
Bowl up the dhal and top with the remaining mushrooms. Side with the crispy poppadom. Dollop over the parsley coconut yoghurt and sprinkle over the remaining parsley. Wow, Chef!
