Dal With Spinach and Yoghurt image

I completely love this dal - it is so flavoursome and creamy and delicious! It's also my husband's favourite at the moment, so while the recipe makes a good amount, it tends to vanish quite quickly... I use channa dal to make this - feel free to use your dal of choice, but you would need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

290 g channa dal
830 ml vegetable stock
6 g salt
1 g turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
300 g spinach, washed and chopped
30 g ghee
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 g cumin seeds
4 g mustard seeds
2 g garam masala
3/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Rinse lentils and soak for 20 mins or so.
  • In a large saucepan, bring stock to a boil and stir in salt, lentils, turmeric and chili powder. Cover and return to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook for 5 minutes uncovered, or until lentils are soft (time will depend on type of lentils used).
  • Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the dal to get your desired consistancy; simmer for another few minutes to thicken up.
  • While lentils are cooking, heat ghee and cook onion with curry powder, cumin and mustard seeds over very low head til caramelized - around 20 minutes. Combine with lentils, stir in garam masala and yoghurt.
