Get started

  1. Start with your quick pickles by throwing together all ingredients in a medium bowl and popping to one side.
  2. Onto the Daal- add 600ml water to a deep pan, add your lentils, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 25 mins until cooked.
  3. Meanwhile, make your Tofoo topper by heating your oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add your Kashmiri chilli, stir through the oil and tip in your Tofoo cubes, tossing about for 10 mins until crispy & golden. Remember to season!
  4. When your lentils are ready chuck in a little salt and pepper and stir through your garlic butter. Drain your pickled onion.
  5. Now to assemble! Serve your daal into 4 bowls, top with Kashmiri Tofoo, pickled red onions and sprinkle with coriander and red chilli if using. Time to tuck into a great sharer and  perfect Friday night fakeaway!
