Making the Spiced Dal Soup

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Add the onion and cook for 5 mins or until onion softens.

Add the ginger, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and turmeric.

Cook, stir it for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add the lentils and vegetable stock.

Cover and bring the saucepan to the boil then reduce heat to low.

Cook it with a partially covered lid. Stir it often to prevent lentils catching on the base for 20 mins or until lentils are tender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the plain natural yoghurt and coriander and serve with warm naan bread.
