Dahl was one of the first things Tom ever learned to cook. It’s a simple dish, but there are 100s of variations. After mincing the garlic, separate a bit off and mix with a little olive oil to brush over the flat breads after frying.
The Dahl takes at least 45 minutes to cook. You can speed this up by soaking the lentils, ideally overnight but even a few hours will help. Rinse the lentils with cold running water to remove any debris then just add them to a bowl with double the amount of cold water.
The radish and coriander for this dish are grown on Huntsbury Hill.
