Need a curry in a hurry? This vegie-laden, low-calorie dhal fits the bill.
1 Place lentils, cauliflower, 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1½ cups water in a saucepan, then bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes or until lentils are tender and mixture is thick.
2 Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, ginger, chilli, turmeric and remaining curry powder and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Transfer spice mixture to lentils, stirring to combine.
3 Add peas and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until tender. Add spinach, stirring until just wilted. Divide dhal among serving bowls, top with yoghurt and serve with poppadums.

My family enjoyed this recipe served with crispy roasted veges – but I did find the dahl a little bland as per recipe. Added salt, pepper, a tsp of paprika and tsp of sugar, plus some cream we had in the fridge. Maybe making it less low calorie ha ha!
