Method
- To make the pickle, put the red onion in a bowl with the vinegar, then cover with cold water and set aside. Ideally this needs a few days to pickle, but even leaving it for a few minutes to soften and brighten the red colour will be fine.
- Meanwhile, to make the dahl, sauté the onions, garlic, chilli and ginger in the oil in a large pan on a high heat for 5 minutes. When the onions are soft, add the tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover the pan and cook gently over a low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the lentils, coconut milk, soy sauce/tamari, lime juice, all the spices, the remaining teaspoon of salt and the water to bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a low heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the lentils are cooked through and soft. Stir regularly, as lentils have a tendency to stick.
- Once the lentils are cooked, turn off the heat and stir through the baby spinach until it wilts in the heat.
- To finish making the pickle, cut the tomato in half, remove the juice and seeds and chop finely. Drain the red onion and add to a bowl with the rest of the pickle ingredients. This adds a lovely fresh juiciness that complements the dahl wonderfully.
- Serve the dahl with the pickle and cooked brown rice.
