Beautifully spiced broccoli dal

21st July 2015 by Haleo Leave a Comment

This is a magical dish which I am very proud of. It is packed with flavour, nutrients and isn’t too complicated. Don’t be put off by the broccoli – it truly isn’t overpowering and it fits in just perfectly with the spices and lentils.

It is a nourishing meal and a real ‘comfort’ sort of dish, to be enjoyed especially on a rainy day. Make sure the coconut milk you use contains at least 75% coconut. Enjoy x

Serves: 2-3
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup red lentils, (uncooked and rinsed thoroughly)
  • 2 red onion (finely diced)
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1 head of broccoli
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tsp. chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp. garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • Paprika, to garnish
Instructions
  1. Wash and cut the broccoli into florets and place into a food processor. Process until the broccoli forms a cous cous like consistency. Set to one side.
  2. Add 2 tbsp. of coconut oil to a large pot over a medium heat. Add the red onion, uncooked lentils, cumin and mustard seeds and cook for around 6 or so minutes (until the mustard seeds pop). The lentils should soften but will still be quite firm.
  3. Add broccoli to the pot, followed by the vegetable stock and stir well. Cover and cook on a low heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. After about 20 minutes, add in the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for a further 20-25 minutes. If too thick, add some water (I add around half a cup). Add salt to taste.
  5. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
