Instructions
- Soak the cashews overnight or leave them soaking in hot boiling water for at least 20 minutes.
- If you are using dried lentils, cook them in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water the lentils and they will be ready for your dal.
- Using a pot (preferably a cast-iron pot) add the vegetable oil. When hot, add the onion finely chopped and cook until it starts to soften.
- Add the spice blend and keep cooking until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Finely chop or crush the garlic and ginger until it turns into a paste. Add into the pot and keep cooking for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tomato pure, stir until everything is well mixed, and leave simmering for 20 minutes.
- Add the stock and the lentils and keep cooking for 15-20 more minutes, until you have a thick and creamy consistency. At this point you can take a bit of the dal and blend it. Transfer back into the pot and mix. This will give your dal a creamier consistency.
- To make the cashew cream, drain and rinse with cold water the presoaked cashews and transfer into a blender jug. Add water until the cashews are covered and blend until you have a thick but smooth cream.
- Serve the dal and top with cashew cream. Optionally you can add some freshly chopped cilantro and caramelized onions.
