step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
step 2
Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the korma paste (1 jar), keeping the jar, and fry the paste for a few minutes, until fragrant.
step 3
Add the chopped tomatoes (2), lentils (200 g), and carrot (1). Cover with water and season. Bring to the boil, then simmer, covered, for around 25 minutes until the lentils are tender (add a splash more water if it looks too dry).
step 4
Meanwhile, place the chickpeas (1 tin) into a small baking tray. Drizzle a little oil into the used jar of Bombay-style spice paste, shake, then pour the flavoured oil over the chickpeas. Season and scatter over the chilli flakes (1 tsp), then roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
step 5
Add the kale (75 g) and roast for another 5-10 minutes until everything is nice and crispy.
step 6
Cook the rice (200 g) according to the packet instructions.
step 7
When the lentils are done, stir in the spinach (120 g) and simmer for a few minutes until it’s cooked through. Season to taste, adding a squeeze of lemon juice (1/2) if needed.
step 8
Heat a little oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat, then add the green chillies (2), cumin seeds (1 tsp) and mustard seeds (1 tsp). Sizzle for a couple of minutes until fragrant, then add to the dahl.
step 9
Serve the dahl topped with the crispy kale and chickpeas and alongside the rice. Add some fresh coriander (1 handful), if you like.
