Just thought I'd share a quick and easy microwave lentil dahl which is lovely and excellent for weight loss...
2tbsp water
2 medium onions (finely sliced)
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chilli powder and 1 whole chilli (with seeds)
2 bay leaves
2 inch piece cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp salt
6 black peppercorns
8oz/225g red lentils
1 1/2pt boiling vegetable stock
Place first 8 ingredients in a 1.5l microwavable dish, cook on full power stirring once for 4 mins,
Add remaining ingredients & stir well
Cook on full power for 10 mins, stir and cook for a further 5-8 mins
Season with salt, pepper or chilli to taste.
I also add spinach now and again or serve it on the side, and sometime serve with rice, or a roti which are 6.5 syns (average)
