Pumpkin Dahl Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add half of the ghee and cook pumpkin in batches, tossing the pan often until pumpkin is well coloured and starting to soften; set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of the ghee, and working in batches, cook silverbeet until wilted and tender. Remove from pan and add to reserved pumpkin.
• In the same pan, heat remaining ghee; add onions, garlic and ginger; cook until starting to soften and fragrant.
• Add spices, stirring until fragrant. Add chillies, lentils and water. Bring to the boil; reduce heat to a simmer; cook, covered, stirring occasionally until dahl is thick and soupy, about 40 minutes.
• Just before dahl is ready, heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Add cumin, mustard seeds and curry leaves; cook until the mustard seeds 'pop'.
• Return pumpkin and spinach, with tomatoes and tempered spice mixture to pan with dahl; stir to combine and heat through. Season to taste and stir in half of the coriander, reserving the remainder for garnish.
• Serve hot with basmati rice, chutney and cucumber salad.
