Method

  1. 1

    Rinse the red lentils under cold water.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the onion for 3 minutes until soft.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric and cumin, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in the lentils, chopped tomatoes and stock, and bring to the boil.

  5. 5

    Reduce the heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the dahl has thickened.

  6. 6

    Season to taste and serve with the warmed flatbread.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves ¾ tin of chopped tomato and 3 flatbreads. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.
