From alessioxvx 14 years agoIngredients
- 150g chana dahl shopping list
- 130g fresh washed spinach shopping list
- a good handful of runner beans shopping list
- 2 tbsp soya sauce (not very indian, but i use for almost all my dishes, even italian ones) shopping list
- the juice of 1/2 lemon shopping list
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil (or other veg oil) shopping list
- 1 tbsp vegan margarine shopping list
- 1 tbsp bicarbonate of soda shopping list
- 1 tomato shopping list
- 1 onion shopping list
- 2 to 4 cloves of garlic depending on taste shopping list
- a piece of ginger the size of the tip of your thumb (ha! now, that's a mouthful) shopping list
- lots of coriander shopping list
The dry spices I used are:
- (roughly 1 tsp of each of these, but you can add more if you like more of a kick. i like mine very mild as i have a sensitive stomach) shopping list
- turmeric shopping list
- hing (asafoetida) shopping list
- mild madras shopping list
- cumin seeds shopping list
- mustard seeds shopping list
How to make it
- 1. the first thing I did was soak the chana dahl for about half an hour
- 2. then it was rinsed well and put in a large saucepan, cover them with filtered water and add the bicarbonate of soda. this will make them cook a lot faster and soften them up very well (I use this trick when I do chickpeas for hummus, although they need to soak longer)
- 3. boil until almost tender, drain and rinse quickly with warm water
- 4. then chop up the onion, garlic, ginger and sauté them in the oil
- 5. once the liquid has almost completely disapperead, add the soya sauce, dry spices and let them sauté for another while
- 6. add the chana dal to the mix, runner beans and tomatoes
- 7. cover with just enough water so all ingredients are submerged (do not use too much or your dal will turn out too watery)
- 8. bring to a boil and simmer for 5 mins
- 9. add your spinach and stir
- 10. then add the coriander, lemon juice and vegan margarine
- 11. cook for a further 5 minutes to give time to the other veg to soften up
- 12. serve with warm wholemeal pita bread (not GF though!) and basmati rice
