250g yellow chana daal, washed and soaked for 2 hours
half tsp red chilli powder
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
quarter tsp turmeric
1 tsp olive/sunflower oil
1 large onion, sliced
1 green chilli, finely chopped
half tsp garam masala powder
1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
Method
Place the lentils in a pressure cooker and cover with 4 glasses of water. Let it steam.
Add the chilli powder, garlic, turmeric and bring to the boil. Cover and cook over a low heat for approximately an hour, until tender.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the sliced onion and fry until golden brown. Reserve a few fried onions to garnish. You can add extra garlic to the onions for more flavour.
Now add the green chilli. Stir through the lentil mixture, then garnish with the onions, garam masala and coriander.
