Instructions

1 Roast eggplant

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan.
Chop the eggplant into large chunks.
Place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 20-25 min or until soft and golden.

Tip! Don't rush the eggplants; the longer and slower you cook them for, the more tender they will be!

2 Prep

Meanwhile, rinse the lentils.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Chop the paneer into bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the coriander stems, reserve the leaves.

3 Start dal

Heat a pan over a medium heat with the ghee.
Once hot, fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 6 min until softened.
Add the ginger garlic paste, coriander stems, curry powder, turmeric and garam masala and cook for 1 min further.

4 Simmer

Add the measured water, 1 stock cube, rinsed lentils, coconut milk and honey.
Cover and simmer for 12-15 min until the lentils are cooked through.
Meanwhile, chop the coriander leaves.
Once the lentils are cooked, stir through half of the coriander leaves and a squeeze of lime juice.
Add a splash of water if needed.
