Spiced dhal

    This is really easy to make. You just need to ensure you soak the lentils overnight or use a pressure cooker to get the lentils nice and soft for the dhal soup.

     

    Ingredients:

    200g lentils such as channa dhal (split chick peas) or toor dhal (split pigeon peas) soaked overnight

    3 tbsp rapeseed or vegetable oil

    1tsp black mustard seeds

    1tsp cumin seeds

    1/2 white onion finely sliced 

    1tsp turmeric powder

    1 tub SPICED Lush Mush

    1/2 tsp salt

    squeeze lemon juice

    coriander chopped

     

    STEP 1

    Heat a frying pan and add the oil. Once the oil is hot add the mustard and cumin seeds and fry gently for a few minutes.

    Add the sliced onion and fry for a further 5-10 minutes, making sure the onion does not burn.

     

    STEP 2

    Meanwhile in a saucepan, cook the lentils in 500ml of water till soft. Whilst the lentils are cooking add in the turmeric. 

    Once the lentils are soft, add in a tub of SPICED Lush Mush sauce. Mix through and then add in the seeds and fried onion.

    STEP 3

    Let the dhal brew for about 15-20 minutes on a low heat. When you are ready to eat it add a squeeze of lemon and garnish with coriander. Serve with flat bread, naan or rice.
