Cooking Instructions

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Finely slice half the onion. Finely dice the remaining. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 mins, until softened.
Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
Trim and roughly chop the green beans into 1cm pieces. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the onion pan, cook for 2-3 mins, until popping, then stir in the curry powder, turmeric and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, then add the green beans and red lentils.
Pour in the coconut milk and 300ml water (150ml for 1 person). Simmer for 20-25 mins, until the sauce is thick, the lentils are cooked and the green beans are soft.
Meanwhile, make the kachumber salad; dice the cucumber into 1cm cubes. Quarter the tomatoes. Quarter the lemon. Put the cucumber, tomato and diced onion into a mixing bowl. Add the juice from half the lemon and a pinch of sea salt. Gently mix together.
Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon into the rice (or to taste) and stir. Serve the rice and dhal in bowls with the kachumber salad alongside.
