500g Yellow split peas – soaked in cold water for 4 hours minimum, but ideally overnight
500g Essential Cuisine Curry Onion Sauce
12g Essential Cuisine Light Vegetable Stock Mix, combined with 750ml boiling water.
500g Vine tomatoes – eye removed and coarsely diced
75g Essential Cuisine Indian Inspired Jalfrezi Seasoning
40g Crushed garlic
60g Crushed ginger
Small bunch coriander
10g Salt
1. Drain and rinse the peas and add to a pan with everything apart from the coriander and salt.
2. Bring to gentle simmer and cook out till the peas are tender, stirring more frequently as they begin to thicken.
3. Pulse blend the Daal, leaving some texture to the mix, and season once the peas are cooked but retaining a little "bite".
4. Season with salt to taste and finish with fresh chopped coriander.
Chef's Tip: Add more stock if the Daal is too thick. The consistency should not be too "soupy" or too thick. Add salt only after pulses are fully cooked, as adding it too early can significantly extend the cooking time.
