Red Lentil Dhal

Tweet


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.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup McKenzie's Red Lentils
  • 1 small onion, finely sliced
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • Seasoning
  • 1 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp Clive Of India Authentic Curry Powder
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • To taste, McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt
