  5. Whisk vigorously to break down the lentils into a smooth dahl and adjust seasoning.

  6. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon before serving.

Chef's tip

Bloom the spices in a little hot oil before adding, or temper them at the end, to unlock a far more aromatic dahl.

Suggested pairing

Pairs perfectly with warm naan and a cooling cucumber raita.
