Ingredients

1 pack of The Spice Tailor Classic Tarka Daal (lentils included)
1 tsp. ghee or butter or vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
A little ginger julienne
2-3 handfuls chopped cleaned spinach or baby spinach
½ tsp. garam masala
1 tsp. lemon juice (optional and to taste)
Fresh cilantro to finish

Method

Heat the ghee in a medium non-stick saucepan. Add the spices from the spice packet along with the chilli if you would like some heat. Cook gently for 10-20 seconds, or until the seeds are aromatic. Add in the ginger and garlic and cook for another 30-40 seconds.
Add in the spinach and a little seasoning and cook down until wilted. You can add a small splash of water to help. Stir in the tarka (small pouch) from the pack, give the pan a stir, add the lentils and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the garam masala and lemon juice if you would like. Add some boiling water if the lentils look thick and serve garnished with the cilantro.

Classic Lentil Tarka Daal

This is probably the most cooked dish in India as it is a healthy source of vegetarian protein and is very satisfying. These buttery lentils are lifted with warming spices, zingy ginger, savoury garlic, and tangy tomatoes.
