Categories: Tamara2
Yield: 1 servings


2 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil 350 g. dhal ( I like red lentils) 1
teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric 1 cinnamon stick 6 cloves garlic, minced 1
tablespoon minced ginger 10 curry leaves, bruised and tied together 1 large
onion, finely chopped 1 large green chilli, whole but split 1 large potato,
peeled and finely diced 2 tomatoes, finely diced 1 small eggplant, finely

In a large saucepan, heat the ghee and add the dhal, mustard seeds, ground
coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, cinnamon stick, garlic, minced ginger,
curry leaves, onion and green chilli. Cook over a low heat for 5 minutes
until the spices are aromatic and deep brown in colour and the onion has
softened.

Add the chicken stock and simmer until the dhal is soft, about 30-45
minutes.

Remove the cinnamon stick, whole green chilli and curry leaves.

Blend the dhal until smooth with a 'wand' or processor then return to the
saucepan.

Add the finely diced vegetables and simmer for a further 20 minutes or
until the vegetables are soft.

Add the lemon juice, salt to taste and chopped coriander, stir well and
serve with a dollop of yoghurt.
