Marie’s No Count Tarka Dahl

Another fantastic vegan recipe from Marie which is free on No Count and WW Flex (as long as you use Frylight).

• 250g dried red lentils
• a large onion or two small ones, chopped finely
• a tsp of turmeric
• 1″ piece of root ginger
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 600ml hot vegetable stock
•  a tsp cumin seeds (crushed)
• chopped coriander to serve

• a tbsp olive oil (from your daily healthy oil allowance)
• (use Frylight if following WW Flex)
•  a small red onion
• 2 tsp black mustard seeds
• a clove of garlic, chopped finely
• a tomato, sliced

Method:

1. Rinse the lentils and place in a slow cooker or large pan.
2. Add the onion, turmeric, ginger (peel and grate), chopped tomatoes, stock and half the cumin seeds.
3. Cook in the slow cooker for 4-5 hours or on the hob for about 30-35 minutes – just make sure the lentils are tender.
4. When the Dahl is done, make the Tarka.
5. Heat the oil (or spray) and fry the (finely chopped) red onion for a few minutes until soft and beginning to brown.
6. Add the mustard seeds and remaining crushed cumin seeds. Cook for a minute or so – the seeds will begin to pop.
7. Add the tomato and garlic, and cook for a couple of minutes
8. Serve with chopped coriander and the Tarka on top.
9. Enjoy!
