3-4clovesGarlic
400gYellow split lentilsDried
1/2bunchCoriander
100gSpinachFrozen or fresh
1tbspCumin seeds
1tbspMustard seeds
1tspDried chillior fresh
1Sweet potato
1Onionred
Instructions
Boil the lentils until very soft and smooth – for me it typically takes about 30 minutes in my trusty pressure cooker, or 1-1.5 hours in a regular saucepan.
When it’s nearly ready, add the finely chopped garlic, cumin seeds and mustards seeds to a couple of tablespoons in oil in a frying pan. When it starts to brown a little transfer it to a pestle and mortar and crush it into a paste. When the lentils are the texture you want, turn off the heat, add the garlic and spice mixture plus the chopped coriander and spinach. Taste and add salt if needed.
While it cools a little, shallow fried some thinly sliced onion and grated sweet potato to add on top on a very high heat until crispy.
