  1. Finely slice the shallots. Trim the green beans. Halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the coriander. Rinse the spinach.

  3. Heat another large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the remaining shallots and cook for 4 mins.
  4. Add the chana dal lentils to the tomato pan, along with the coconut yoghurt, half the tamari and 100ml water. Simmer for 4-5 mins, until the sauce has thickened. In the final minute of cooking, stir in the spinach and half the coriander to wilt. Season with sea salt and black pepper (to taste).
  5. Add the green beans to the shallot pan along with 75ml water. Cook for 2-3 mins, until the liquid has evaporated, then add the maple syrup, almonds, remaining tamari and juice from half the lime. Cook for another 2-3 mins, until the green beans are soft.
