METHOD

• Cut up the spring onions into thin rings. Chop ginger and garlic. Peel the carrot and cut into small pieces. Dice the tomatoes.

• Heat up 1 tbsp coconut milk in a pot. Add spring onions, ginger and garlic together with the chili flakes, cumin and curry powder and fry.

• Wash lentils and chickpeas well. Add to the pot together with the tomato and carrot pieces and let fry for a bit as well.

• Add the remaining coconut milk and give it a good stir. Put the lid on the pot and let simmer for around 20 minutes until the lentils are very soft.

I like that you fry the spices with the aromatics before adding the lentils and chickpeas, since blooming them in fat really deepens the flavor. Do you find the dhal thickens a lot as it sits, and if so, would you thin it with a little water or extra coconut milk when reheating? Also curious whether the lemon at the end is mainly for brightness or if you adjust the amount depending on the tomatoes' sweetness.

This dhal is absolute comfort food! The coconut and spice ratio is perfect. I love pairing plant-based meals like this with a soothing dendrobium nobile tea
