½ cup of green peas

1 cup of spinach
1 cup of chicken stock

Method:
Start by bringing 3 cups of water to the boil. Add the lentils and cook for ~20 minutes or until the lentils have softened and a portion of the water has absorbed. Drain the excess water and set aside.
In a large and deep frypan, preheat the olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin & garam masala. Saute for 2-3 minutes
Add the cauliflower to the pan and cook for an extra couple of minutes.
Lastly, add the red lentils, spinach and frozen peas to the frypan and cook until all the ingredients are well combined, the dahl appears fragrant and the vegetables are soft.
To make the flatbread, knead together the greek yoghurt and flour. Add extra flour if the dough appears too sticky - it shouldn’t be able to stick to a surface or to your fingers.
Cut the dough into 6 even pieces. Roll each piece flat with a rolling pin and place onto a pan that has been lightly sprayed with olive oil. Cook for a couple of minutes each side or until golden brown.
Serve the lentil dahl with flatbread, your favourite grains (we used brown rice & quinoa) and top with fresh coriander, lemon juice and additional greek yoghurt if needed.
