INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

125g dried red lentils

100g creamed coconut

600 ml vegetable stock

1 tsp maple syrup or sugar

2 tsp white wine vinegar

100g fresh spinach

sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

To serve: rice, fresh coriander, toasted cashew nuts, and sliced red onion.

SPICE MIX

2 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp chilli flakes

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp cumin

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp turmeric

METHOD

Heat a high-sided frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the onion to sweat for 8-10 minutes, until soft and translucent. Then, add the garlic, spice mix and a dash of water. Stir well and fry for a further minute or so, until the spices release their aroma.

Add the red lentils, creamed coconut, stock and maple syrup/sugar into the pan. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the pan gently bubble for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the dhal is creamy.

Stir in the white wine vinegar and spinach, then season generously with salt & pepper. Simmer for a further minute or so, just until the spinach has wilted.

Serve the dhal over rice sprinkled with chopped fresh coriander, toasted cashew nuts and slithers of thinly sliced red onion.
