First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Pot
Baking Tray
Kettle
Small Pan
Heat Proof Bowl

Step 1

1 Roast Pumpkin

Preheat oven to 220°C. Cut Kent pumpkin into wedges. Place in a bag with olive oil, 12 the dahl spice mix and salt and toss, then place on a lined baking tray. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender. Cut lime in half.

Step 2

2 Prepare Ingredients

Peel and finely chop brown onion. Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and chop the ginger. Top and tail green beans. Finely slice green chilli. Pick coriander leaves, discard stems. Boil a kettle of water for step 5.

Tip! If you like it mild, remove the seeds from the chilli.

Step 3

3 Cook Aromatics

Heat oil in a high sided pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, until softened slightly. Add garlic, ginger and remaining spice mix. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.

Step 4

4 Finish Dahl

Add split red lentils to the pan, then add vege stock concentrate, 500 ml water and 12 the coconut milk powder. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until lentils have started to break down and are tender. Season to taste.

Step 5

5 Cook Beans and Toast Coconut

Place green beans in a heat proof bowl and cover with boiling water for 4-5 minutes to blanch. Refresh in cold water and drain well. Toss with a squeeze of lime juice (to taste) and sliced chilli (to taste). In a frypan, dry toast the coconut flakes until just golden and crispy, 1-2 minutes

Tip! Leave the chilli out if you prefer.

Step 6

6 You Plate It

Stir the remaining coconut milk powder through the dahl. Top with roasted pumpkin and chilli lime beans. Finish with cashews, toasted coconut flakes, coriander leaves and any remaining lime. Enjoy!

Tip! The consistency of the dhal should be thick and creamy. Alternatively, you can dice the pumpkin and fold it gently through the dahl.
