Method

Step 1

Peel and dice the onion and carrots. Finely chop the garlic and grate the ginger. Sauté the onion, carrots and garlic in oil for a few minutes. Stir in ginger, tomato purée, coriander, cumin and cinnamon. Add the lentils and stir. Pour in the tomatoes, coconut milk, stock and water. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally so the lentils do not stick. Add a little water if the dhal becomes too thick. Season with salt and lime juice. Cook the rice and serve the dhal topped with fresh coriander.
