Rajma Dals

A little story time from when I was younger with this one! This dish is called a Rajma Dal and I experienced it for the first time in Northern India and quickly became obsessed. Perfect for the wintery season and delicious with either rice, bread or both! Ingredients: 1 tsp chilli powder 1 tsp cumin 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp ground fenugreek 1 tbsp minced ginger 2 tsp minced garlic 1 tbsp tomato paste 700g red kidney beans 1 tin of chopped tomatoes 1 red onion Salt and pepper to taste 2 tbsp cream for serving Pickled onions, roasted cashews and coriander for serving Method: Toast the spices in a dry pan and then set aside whilst you fry onions in olive oil for 5 minutes. Next add garlic and ginger, stir for a minute and then add spices and tomato paste for another minute followed by the tinned tomatoes. Mix well and then add the beans and their juices. Bring to a gentle boil and let simmer until thick, about 20-25 minutes. Season to taste and top with a drizzle of cream, pickled onions, cashews and coriander!
