Fidel Castro - Hester's Dal

This is a scrummy indian-style dish with hardly any ingredients. Proof that meat free food can be rather good sometimes.

Serve with whatever other curries / rice / bread you are cooking.

Ingredients	What to do with them
1 cup red split lentils (washed) 4 cups of water 1 level tsp turmeric 1 level tsp salt 1/4 tsp chilli powder	Put them all in a pan and simmer until the lentils all dissolve.
1/2 onion	While the lentils are bubbling away chop the onion finely and fry until almost black (caramelised). Set aside.
some garlic	Chop finely then fry until dark brown. Watch it carefully at the end because it goes from light brown to burnt very quickly. Set aside.
2 fresh green chiillies, chopped 2 tomatoes, quarterered	When the lentils are pretty much dissolved, add - 1 tblsp of the caramelised onions - 1 tsp of the fried garlic - the chillies - the tomatoes and cook a few minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
1 tblsp fresh coriander	Stir in the fresh coriander and serve.
