Ingredients

• 1 White Onion

• 2 Garlic Cloves

• 2cm Ginger Peice

• 2 tbsp Rapeseed or Coconut Oil

• 1 Can Coconut Milk

Method

• Start by finely chopping your onion and sauteting in a large saucepan in oil on medium heat. 

• Finely chop or grate the galic and ginger (peeled). 

• Once the onions have started to become translucent, add the garlic, onion and curry powder. Mix rapidly to avoid it sticking. Cook for 1 minute then add the dry lentils (rinsed). 

• Mix thoroughly to coat the lentils in the spices. Then right away add 400ml of water and the stock cube. 

• Lower the heat to minimum and let stir throroughly so the stock cube dissolves. Then add the chopped tomatoes and coconut milk. 

• Allow this all to cook covered and on minimum heat for around 30 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked and beginning to dissolve. 

• Now the dhal is formed you can stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt and cook with the heat of the lentils. 

• Serve topped with coriander abd a dollop of vegan yogurt along side rice and papadums (yes they're vegan!)
