MUNG BEAN DAHL

• 1 cup mung beans • 6 cups water • 1 clove garlic • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger • 1 large fresh sliced tomato • 2-3 tablespoons Oil/Butter or Gee • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon turmeric • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste if you don’t like hot)

Wash beans and put into a saucepan with water and boil until soft. In a frypan fry oil garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin seeds and fry until fragrant and cumin seeds pop add and salt tomato.

Add beans to frypan turn to a low boil and cook until the beans are soft and broken up.

I threw in some spinach leaves just before serving so they were wilted and not killed then served on rice with yogurt and papadarums….mmmmm hungry now!!
