Discount Dahl
After a festive period of dietary and financial excess, this month’s free sample creates a meal to make amends on both your purse strings and waistline! Eaten all over India, dhal is a tasty and nutritious meal and this garlicky version flavoured with cumin, mustard, turmeric and coriander easily comes in at pennies per portion!
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Serves: 4
- Heat rating: 2/5
- Dietary: Contains dairy
Ingredients
- 3 cloves of garlic - thinly sliced
- 200g red lentils or yellow split peas
- 30g butter or 2 tbsp oil
- 100g peas
- 100g spinach
- 2 finely chopped tomatoes OR a handful of roughly chopped coriander (or you can use a mixture of them all)
- Rice for 4 and natural yogurt to serve
Spices
- Discount Dahl Spices (1 portion / 1 tbsp) PLEASE NOTE IF YOU'RE MAKING A BIGGER BATCH, YOU'LL NEED TO SCALE UP THE FRESH INGREDIENTS IN PROPORTION BUT THE SPICES ONLY BY 2/3 OR IT WILL BE TOO SPICY!
Method
- Simmer the lentils in 500ml water with the DISCOUNT DHAL SPICES in a covered pan for 30 minutes (a bit longer for split peas) until the lentils have broken down to form a thick sauce (stir occasionally to prevent them sticking on the bottom and add a splash of water if the pan starts to dry out too much)
- 15 minutes before the dhal is ready, cook the rice
- When the dhal is cooked fry the garlic in the butter or oil for 1 minute or until beginning to brown. Stir all the butter and garlic into the dhal with ½ tsp salt and the peas then cook for 2 minutes or until warmed through
- Serve the rice and dhal with the yogurt on the side
