Directions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over MEDIUM heat. Add onion, carrot, potato, curry powder and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Add tomatoes and stock. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add lentils and coconut milk and cook for a further 20-30 minutes or until the lentils have broken down and dahl has thickened. Stir through spinach and allow to heat through. Season to taste.
- For the flatbread, combine the flour and salt. Add the yoghurt and herb of choice and bring dough together with a spoon. Turn out onto a clean work surface and knead until smooth. Divide into 6 balls and roll out into ovals.
- Heat a frying pan over HIGH heat, and brush both sides of the flatbread with oil. Cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden and slightly charred. Set aside, keeping warm.
- Divide dahl among serving bowls and serve with flatbread, yoghurt, lime wedges, mint leaves and optional fresh chilli.
Recipe Tip
Dahl is an incredibly versatile dish. Substitute red lentils for yellow split pea.
To speed things up try adding canned pulses for additional texture and protein.
