To soak the beans

Soak the mung beans in cold water for approx. 4 hrs. or overnight.

Rice

Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear, drain well.

Dal

Heat the ghee in a wide pan. Briefly sauté the ginger and all the other ingredients up to and including the salt. Add the carrots, continue to cook for approx. 2 mins. Drain the soaked mung beans, add along with the rice. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil. Turn down the heat, reduce for approx. 20 mins., stirring occasionally.

Simmer until cooked

Pour in the coconut milk, simmer for approx. 5 mins. Plate up the dal, top with the yoghurt and coriander, sprinkle with the mustard seeds.

Note: Instead of ghee, you can also use coconut oil or butter.
Tip: Depending on the season, you can replace half of the carrots with courgettes.
