Serves 4-6

300g split mung beans (moong dahl) – preferably soaked for a few hours
600ml of water
2 tbsp/30g olive oil, coconut oil, butter or ghee
1 red onion, finely chopped

1-2 tsp cumin seeds

Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Drain and rinse the split mung beans. Put them in a pan and cover with the water. Bring to the boil and skim off any foam that arises. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion until soft.
  • Dry fry the coriander and cumin seeds in a heavy bottomed pan until they start to pop. Grind them in a pestle and mortar.
  • Add the ground spices to the onions along with the ginger, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Cook for a few minutes.

Once the mung beans are almost cooked add the onion and spice mix to them. Season with salt and pepper and cook for a further 10 minutes.
