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.
