- 2 small onions
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp coriander, ground
- Half a teaspoon chilli flakes
- A cup of red lentils
- 5 cups of water
- A cup of Desiccated Coconut
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- A cup of sunflower seeds
1. Firstly, roughly chop your onion and sauté in your coconut oil for about ten minutes. Meanwhile, give your lentils a good wash and drain thoroughly. Add the spices and continue to fry for a few minutes more.
2. Pop the lentils and water in with your spiced onions. Leave this to bubble away for about 15 minutes. Add in the coconut, then season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Gently toast your sunflower seeds in a pan- this will only take a couple of minutes. This will give them a lovely nutty flavour. Watch out though, if you don’t keep a close eye they can burn pretty quickly!
4. And there you have it! Serve your dal in bowls with a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds on top.
