We LOVE dahl, but it's not something I've ever felt the courage to try. But we were in the mood for something light tonight, and I had to use the rest of an eggplant so I thought i'd give it a go. And it was FANTASTIC!

Ingredients: 
  • 100g red lentils
  • 1 medium eggplant, cubed
  • 3 Tbsps sunflower oil
  • 1 small bunch of shallots, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsps turmeric
  • 300ml water
  • sea salt, to taste

Method:
  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan, add onion, garlic and shallots and fry them until browning. 
  2. Add all spices and stir through thoroughly. 
  3. Add lentils, water and eggplant. 
  4. Cook on low heat until the lentils are tender and it has a dhal type consistency. (about 15-20 mins).
  5. Add salt to taste and serve with sourdough flatbread, or papadums, or rice.

Notes:
This is GF, Vegan and delicious!! 
​I think I want to try it with tomato instead of eggplant next!
