Instructions
• Finely chop the brown onion and garlic. Rinse the red lentils. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large saucepan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion and chicken, stirring, until browned, 3-4 minutes • Add the ginger paste and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add a drizzle more oil, then add the Bengal curry paste, tomato paste and brown mustard seeds. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Add the water, the salt, lentils and coconut milk. Stir well to combine. Cover with a lid, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are softened, 20-25 minutes. • Meanwhile, grate the carrot. Roughly chop the tomato. • When the dhal has 10 minutes remaining, remove the lid and stir through the carrot and tomato. Continue cooking until the lentils and veggies are softened.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the dhal looks dry.
• Heat some olive oil (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people) in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and a pinch of salt and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer the chilli oil to a small bowl. • Brush some chilli oil over both sides of each mini flourtortilla. • Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas, until golden, 1 minute each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• When the dhal is ready, stir through the baby spinach leaves until just wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• Divide the coconut lentil and chicken dhal between bowls. • Top with Greek-style yoghurt and tear over mint. • Serve with the chilli flatbreads. Enjoy!
