Method

In a blender or food processor blitz the beetroot including the juice until puréed, then set aside.
In a large deep pan, heat the oil on a medium heat and add the onion and ginger paste. Fry gently until soft but not coloured. Add the garlic and chilli and continue to fry on low for a further two minutes.
Add the spices, stirring to combine, along with the salt.
Add the lentils, the beetroot puree and the coconut milk. Simmer on a low heat, stirring every now and then to prevent sticking.
Once the lentils have absorbed the puree and coconut, which should take about 30 mins, remove from the heat.
Squeeze the lime over the dahl, and sprinkle over the coriander and the spring onions. Serve with rice, naan, or simply enjoy as it is.
