Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut zucchini into small chunks. Finely chop brown onion and garlic. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Drain and rinse bamboo shoots (see ingredients). Rinse red lentils. • Place zucchini on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes.

• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, tossing until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. To pan, cook onion until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add ginger paste, mild North Indian spice blend, Mumbai spice blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and coconut milk. Stir to combine. • Add lentils to the saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils have softened, 24-28 minutes. • Stir through cooked chicken, roasted zucchini and bamboo shoots until warmed, 1 minute (if the dhal is looking a little dry, add a splash of water!). Season to taste.

• In a small bowl, combine garlic and a good drizzle of olive oil. Season. • When the dhal has 10 minutes remaining, slice mini flour tortillas into 3cm strips. • Place tortilla strips in a single layer on a second lined oven tray and brush with the garlic oil. Bake until golden, 8-10 minutes.
