Golden Coconut Dahl

Every kitchen needs a good dahl, and this golden one earns its keep. Red split lentils cook down into a soft, spoonable curry, coconut cream makes it luxurious, and a warming blend of turmeric, garam masala and ginger carries it. It is the sort of forgiving, one-pot dinner that only gets better the next day.

Method
Serves 4 · about 45 minutes from start to finish.
Melt the coconut oil in a large pan and soften the onion for 6-8 minutes until golden at the edges.
Add the garlic, turmeric, garam masala and ginger and stir for a minute until aromatic.
Rinse the lentils and add them with the chopped tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil.
Turn the heat down and simmer, stirring now and then, for 25-30 minutes until the lentils are soft and the dahl has thickened.
Stir through the coconut cream and warm for a couple of minutes. Season generously with salt.

Cook's tip
Dahl thickens as it sits. If you are reheating leftovers, loosen with a splash of water or stock and check the seasoning again.
