Ingredients for Mamak Curry Leaf & Coconut Dal
- 150g red lentils

- 200ml coconut milk
- 400ml water
- Sea salt, to taste
- handful of coriander, finely chopped
How to make Mamak Curry Leaf & Coconut Dal
- Soak the red lentils for 30 mins if you have time (if not don’t worry, it will just take a bit longer to cook!)
- Over medium heat, fry the spice paste in oil till very fragrant.
- Stir in the coconut milk, water and drained lentils. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and simmer on low until very soft, about 10-25 minutes (depending on if you’ve soaked).
- Dal is a super easygoing dish. You can add more water halfway if you want it thinner, or simmer for longer if you want it thicker. Taste and season.
- Before serving, in a separate pan, fry the garlic and chilli in oil till golden. Pour this fragrant oil + all the bits into the dal.
- Finish with coriander and serve with basmati rice or mop up with prata.
