Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare the stock.
  • Chop the onion.
  • Dice the carrots into 1cm chunks (see Tip).

Tip: be sure to finely dice the carrots, otherwise they will take longer to cook.

Make the dahl
2
  • Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the onion with the carrot for 2 - 3 minutes, then stir in the tandoori paste, the tomato paste and half of the African-inspired spices. 
  • Fry for 2 more minutes, then add the coconut milk and the stock and bring to a boil.
Add the lentils
3
  • Add the lentils and season with salt and pepper, then cover with the lid.
  • Allow the dahl to cook for 10 minutes, covered, then add the spinach.
  • Mix well and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the lentils are done.
  • Add a splash of water if the dahl seems too dry.
Roast the chickpeas
4
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry with kitchen paper.
  • Transfer to a bowl along and add the rest of the African-inspired spices. 
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. 
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.
Finish
5
  • Bake the naan for 3 - 4 minutes, then cut into triangles.
  • Finely chop the coriander and cut the lime into six wedges.
  • When the dahl is done, squeeze in one lime wedge per person.
  • Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
