    TWO-LENTIL DAL & SPICED AUBERGINE​


    Dal translates simply to 'lentils'. It's a staple part of the Indian vegetarian diet and creates a smooth, protein-packed creamy base ready to be topped with roast vegetables: in this case, spiced aubergine, yoghurt and fresh coriander. It's a real 'dal-ing'

    1 red onion
    100g red lentils
    1 aubergine
    1 tbsp ground cumin
    3 garlic cloves
    15g root ginger
    1 vegetable stock cube
    10g fresh coriander
    1 tin of green lentils
    150g organic greek yoghurt
    1 tbsp curry powder
    olive oil
    pepper
    salt

    Preheat oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7. Cut the aubergine into quarters lengthways and slice into approx. 5cm pieces. Rub the aubergine with 1-2 tbsp olive oil and the ground cumin, then season generously with salt.

    Heat a wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil over a high heat. Once hot, add the aubergine and cook for 1 min each side or until coloured.

    Transfer the aubergine to a baking tray (use tin foil to avoid mess!) and put it in the oven for 20-25 min or until cooked through, keep the pan for later. 

    Boil a kettle. Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic. Peel the ginger (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate). Peel and dice the onion. Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil.

    Once hot, add the onion with a pinch of salt. Cook over a medium heat for 5 min or until softened.  Add the ginger, garlic and curry powder and cook for a further 3 min.
