Sweet Potato Dal

Sikh cooking is tasty and healthy - this is a take on a classic Dal

This is a lovely dish, suitable for vegetarians and vegans - I've used a lamb stock cube, but a vegetable one will do just as well. The recipe calls for fresh coriander - all I had left was some parsley. It obviously has a different taste, but really the dash of colour is the most pleasing effect

 

INGREDIENTS

1/2 sweet potato

1/2 onion

ginger

garlic

chilli

red lentils

garam masala

ground cumin

ground coriander

fresh coriander*

yoghurt to dress (could be a vegan yoghurt)

  • When the water has cooked down, add the lentils and stir through

  • Add a stock cube of your choice and add a good 150ml of hot water
