One of my favourite comfort dishes. It’s easy and quick and so nourishing. It can be a side dish, or a main. You can serve with rice or naan or chapatti ... i just eat it a big bowl of it on its own 😁
Other spices can be added: ginger works nicely.

Steps

25-30 mins

1

Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds or ground cumin.
2

When the seeds are popping, add the lentils, broccoli, coconut milk, broth, garam masala, turmeric and salt.
3

Bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat, cover with lid and simmer for about 10 mins.
4

Uncover; add the chilli flakes and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the lentils soften. Give it an occasional stir to make sure it doesn’t stick. Add more water if it’s drying out.
5

Stir in the lemon juice and serve.
