Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Start the dal

  • Peel and finely chop enough red onion to measure 1 cup.
  • Scrub or peel the carrots and trim off the ends; cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then crosswise on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Rinse the lentils.
In a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the dal spice blend and as much Marash chile as you like and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lentils, tomatoes, and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
When the lentils are almost done, prepare the naan and the remaining ingredients.

2

Toast the naan

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying or grill pan over medium heat, warm the naan, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster. Tear the naan in half.

3

Finish the dal

  • Rinse the chickpeas.
  • Coarsely chop the dill.
When the lentils are tender, stir in the chickpeas and kale and cook until the chickpeas are warmed through and the kale is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the dal to individual bowls and serve with the naan.
