Recipe by Ashleigh Calder @innerpickle_

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Cup Organic Chana Dal* Washed and soaked for 1 hour
  • 3 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1 Onion Diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves Finely chopped
  • 1 Tsp Organic Cumin Seeds*
  • 1 Tsp Organic Fennel Seeds*
  • 1 Tsp Organic Yellow Mustard Seeds*
  • 3 Tsp Madras Spice Blend*
  • 1 Tsp Ginger Minced & heaped
  • 2 Sweet potatoes Diced
  • Pappadam's To serve

METHOD

  • 1. Bring to boil the 3 ½ cups water and add the drained chana dal. Cook at a simmer for 30 minutes, or until soft and can be squished against the side of the pot.
  • 2. Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry pan and add the onion, garlic and seeds. Fry until soft and the seeds begin to pop.
  • 3. Add the madras spice blend, ginger and sweet potatoes and combine well. Add a few tablespoons of water to the pan, cover, and cook until the potatoes are soft, stirring every so often to ensure it doesn’t stick.
  • 4. Add the chana dal with its cooking to the fry pan, bring to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes and chana dal are well done, and the liquid has reduced to your liking. Serve with pappadam's!
