Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the lentils and soak in water for 30 minutes. The level of water should be about 3 cm higher than the beans. Add the ☆ ingredients and microwave for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the garlic, ginger and onion and cut the tomato into large chunks, and the chicken into bite sizes.

  3. 3

    Add cumin seeds to a heated frying pan. When it starts to crackle, add garlic, ginger, curry leaf and stir-fry.

  4. 4

    Add the onion and coriander when the pot becomes fragrant and fry until the onions become translucent.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken and fry until the chicken changes colour.

  6. 6

    Add the tomato and fry. Depending on your preference, stop frying before the tomatoes start to melt. I recommend you stop before it melts, as the flavor of the tomatoes are retained this way.

  7. 7

    Add the lentils to the pan with the soaking water. Add more water so that the lentils are covered in 3 cm of water.

  8. 8

    Mix and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, and 10 minutes over a low heat. Add the garam masala in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

  9. 9

    It's ready to serve. They call this Dal in Hindi. Add butter, salt, pepper or lemon if you like.
