Spinach and Coconut Dahl

Here's a quick and easy recipe to go with your 12 new spices,

Ingredients:
3 hand fulls of Suma red lentils,
A bunch of Local spinach,
Lots of grated coconut, (save some for serving)
1 onion
Lots of Garlic (to taste)
flat teaspoon of Dalit Turmeric,
a sprinkle of Dalit Cumin Seeds,
half a teaspoon of Dalit coriander powder,
2 teaspoons of Dalit chilli powder,
Ground white and black Dalit peppercorns (to taste)
Squeeze half a lemon,
1 teaspoon of Marigold's Bouillon,
A pinch of Suma asafoetida,
Hot water.

-Rinse the lentils and put in a medium sized pan.
-Pour boiling water over the lentils, and stir in the bouillon, asafoetida, and all other spices. Cover and leave on a medium heat for 5 minutes.
-Chop the onion, garlic and spinach and add to the lentils.
-Now add coconut and lemon.
-Put it on a low heat and cover.
-Keep checking back and stirring, and cook till it's soft and yummy.
I think you can keep it cooking for as long as you want and it'll get even tastier.


I enjoyed mine with a cup of Pukka Chai Tea, and to make it extra scrummy I popped in some extra cinnamon and a few cardamon pods ! (using 8 out of my 12 Dalit spices in one sitting, how many can you use?)


We have everything you need for a dahl, and much more!


Enjoy,
