Ingredients
1 red onion, finely chopped
2-3 tbsp sunflower/vegetable Oil
2 large carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 courgettes, finely chopped
1 large tomato, roughly chopped
400g moong dal
1 tsp cumin seeds
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chaat masala
Method
– Heat the oil in the pan. Add the cumin seeds and onion for 5 minutes until softened.
– Meanwhile, boil 1 litre of water in a kettle.
– Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
– Then add carrots and cook for a further 5 minutes.
– Add the tomatoes and the courgettes and cook for another 5 minutes.
– Once it starts to brown, add the salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder, and chaat masala. Mix well.
– Rinse and strain the moong dal, then add to the pan along with the boiled water. Stir though, cover, and leave to cook on low-medium heat for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are nice and soft.
– Add more water if you feel the dal is too thick for your liking.
You can serve this with Roti or Rice, and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a drizzle of chilli oil.
