Frozen curry · The green dal

Spinach Tadka Dal

Three lentils, toor, chana and yellow moong, cooked soft with spinach, then finished the traditional way with a tadka: whole spices bloomed in hot oil and poured over at the end.

Why it’s different

  • Three lentils in one pot, for a deeper, fuller dal
  • A real tadka of cumin and coriander seeds
  • Spinach stirred through, not blended away

The story

The tadka is how dal has been finished in Indian kitchens for centuries: the sizzle of spices hitting the pot is the sound of dinner nearly ready.

How to enjoy it

With rice or a dosa, and a spoonful of plain yoghurt if you like.

Defrost overnight in the fridge, then heat in a pan, stirring, until piping hot all the way through. From frozen: heat gently in a covered pan with a splash of water.
