How to make
· In a large pan, heat the oil over a medium heat, and add the onions, garlic, and ginger with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly until the onion has softened, and then add the garam masala, chilli flakes and turmeric. Stir well and add the lentils. If you wish to add coriander, add the chopped stalks now (keep the leaves for later), as well as the diced sweet potatoes and squash or pumpkin.
· Dissolve the bouillon powder in 1.5l of boiling water, and pour over the pan contents. Increase the heat, and bring to the boil, and then lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 mins. You will know when it is cooked as the pumpkin and lentils will go soft.
· Then add the coconut milk and spinach, stir well until the spinach dissolves in the dhal. Season, and serve!
