Lentil dahl with vegetables and brown rice

Core recipe

Serves 4

1 cup of red split lentils per person

1 cup of brown rice per person

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground ginger

½ tsp ground coriander

pinch of cayenne (very hot so beware!)

½ a cauliflower

1 stalk of broccoli

½ a swede

1 tsp garam masala

tamari

nori flakes

Rinse the rice and put in a pan with twice the amount of water. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat, cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed (about 40 minutes).

Put the lentils in a large pan with plenty of water. Bring to the boil and skim off any scum that appears.

Turn down the heat, add the spices, except the garam masala, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add the chopped vegetables, tamari and garam masala and cook until the vegetables are soft.

Serve the dahl on top of the rice and sprinkle with nori flakes.
