This creamy Indian dish gets a wholesome boost from lentils, which are a great source of protein and fibre. Best of all, they give extra texture, which makes the perfect base for crispy garlic dippers to do some serious dunking

1 packet

(May be present: Wheat, Gluten, Lupin, Soy.)
1 packet
ginger paste
1 packet
tomato paste
1 packet
coconut milk
6
mini flour tortillas
(Contains: Gluten, Soy, Wheat; May be present: Soy, Milk.)
1 sachet

(Contains: Milk;)

1 sachet
Mumbai spice blend
1

2 cup
water

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut zucchini into small chunks. • Finely chop brown onion and garlic. • 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 onion, stirring, 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 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.

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

• Divide Indian zucchini and coconut dhal between bowls. • Top with Greek-style yoghurt. Serve with garlic dippers. Enjoy!
