Red Lentil Dhal
Directions
Step 1
Before cooking, follow on-pack instructions to rinse and pick over uncooked lentils.
Step 2
Add the uncooked lentils, onion, turmeric, chilli and tomatoes to a saucepan. Add enough water to just cover the uncooked lentils. Bring to the boil and simmer until lentils are soft, approximately 15-20 minutes. Add more water if required. Mash mixture and set aside.
Step 3
In a frypan, heat oil and add seasoning ingredients. Fry until the flavour releases and mustard seeds start popping, approximately 3 minutes. Add to the cooked lentil mix, stir and season if required.
Tips
- Serve with steamed basmati rice, wholemeal roti bread and sauteed broccolini.
- Can also be made with McKenzie’s Yellow Split Lentils in place of Red Split lentils.
