Tarka Dahl from Keepers
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 brown onion
1 green chilli
oil for cooking
2 cups red lentils
120 g (4¼ oz) Tit'lllating Tandoori Paste
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1.5 litres (52 fl oz) vegetable stock
3 fresh tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons Man Grind
200 g (7 oz) paneer (optional)
300 g (10½ oz) spinach, picked
and washed
Method:
Dice the onion and deseed and chop the chilli, and add these to a large casserole dish with a good splash of oil. Sauté on a medium heat for a few minutes, then pop the lentils in.
Add the tandoori paste and turmeric and stir these in. Cover with the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and leave to simmer gently, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes, skimming away any scum that rises to the top.
Stir in the tomatoes and Man Grind. Simmer for another 10 minutes on a gentle heat, until the lentils are fully cooked.
Dice the paneer and pop this in now if you are using it. The lentils will have lost shape by now, and the dish will be heading towards a porridge-like consistency. Add a splash more water if needed to stop the mixture sticking to the bottom of the dish.
Chop the spinach, then stir this in as well. Simmer on a very low heat for a few more minutes, then check the seasoning, adding more Man Grind if necessary.
Serve with rice or cauliflower rice, garlic naan and fresh coriander, if desired.
We hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
