Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200c and boil your kettle. Chop one of the carrots into slanted coins, and add to a baking tray, with olive oil and salt. Add the seeds to another tray, with the cayenne pepper, 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast the carrots for 15-18 mins, or until golden at the edges. Roast the seeds for eight to 10 minutes, leaving for another few minutes if they’re not golden after that.
Step 2
Add your soy chunks to a large bowl and pour over boiling water, set to one side.
Step 3
Chop the garlic, onion, ginger, tomato and other carrots (no need to peel if organic). Measure your stock and spices. Rinse the red lentils and pop to one side.
Step 4
In a large sauté or enamel cast iron pan, for which you have a lid, add plenty of extra virgin olive oil, heat until shimmering, then add the onion and carrot with a large pinch of sea salt. Sauté for eight minutes, then add the ginger, garlic and spices. Fry for two to four minutes more then add the tomato puree, then fry for another two minutes then add the fresh tomato with another small pinch of salt.
Step 5
Add the lentils, soy chunks (drain them first) and stock, stir everything together then bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid with about a one inch opening so steam can escape. Leave for 15-18 minutes, stirring every now and then. If the dal is looking dry, add more water.
Step 6
When the lentils are cooked (taste to test), add the nutritional yeast and tamari - one dash at a time. Season with the tamari to your liking. The level of salt you need will depend on the sodium content of your stock.
Step 7
Top with the roasted chilli seeds, cashew or soy cream, fresh coriander and dig in with sourdough or roti.
