Method

Warm the oil in a saucepan set over medium heat. Set aside about a third of each the chopped onion, ginger and chilli, then add the remainer to the pan. Cook for 8—10 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of lentils, the tomato purée, coconut cream, curry powder, turmeric and a pinch of salt to a food processor and blitz until smooth.
Add the spice paste to the pan and cook for 1—2 minutes, then add the remaining lentils, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes and 200ml of boiling water. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly reduced and creamy.
Stir in the spinach until wilted, then add the lemon juice and season to taste. Divide the dhal between bowls and scatter over the reserved onion, ginger and chilli, followed by the coriander and a spoonful of coconut cream.
