#Dinner tonight (complete with sloppy bowl presentation) is brought to you courtesy of South Asia.

Mung #dal with a crispy curry leaves and garlic tadka
Turmeric and kasoori methi crispy potatoes
Minted yoghurt
Homemade #naan

None of it difficult. About 1hr for first two and aside from waiting 90 mins for dough to prove, naan bread is about 20 mins actual work.

Swap yoghurt for something plant-based and it can be #vegan

Overhead shot of four different food items. Three of them are in bowls but they all sit on a dinner plate. In a larger white bowl there is a green-brown mung dal topped with crispy curry leaves. A small bowl top left contains golden cubes of crispy potato flecked with fenugreek leaves. To its right there is a small green bowl containing yoghurt with flecks of mint leaf. To the right is an oval shaped homemade naan bread with brown griddle marks on its surface.

@novacancy Gosh, would take me forever to write them out. They're all in my head. Maybe I need to write them to share.

Potatoes is easy (par boil halved potatoes 8 mins, cool dry, cube, rub oil/turmeric/salt, air fry 160 for 15 mins, sprinkle kasoori methi, 3-5 mins at 180)

Naan - tsp each yeast/sugar, 2-3 tbsp warm water, warm place 15mins to activate. When frothed add to 300g flour, tsp salt, 2tbsp yoghurt, 2tbsp nigella seed, water as needed to make dough. Knead 5 mins, put in covered oiled bowl in warm place for 90 mins. When risen, knock back, split into 6 balls, rest for 30 mins. Flatten into tear shapes from middle (turning/flattening like pizza dough) Griddle for 3-4 mins each side until slightly risen and springy.

@novacancy Mung dal - this would be closest recipe: nigella.com/recipes/softly-spi…. Cooking method is the same. I tend to cook it for a good hour. I would add tsp cumin, coriander, kashmiri chilli and pinch asafoetida and only 1/2tsp garam masala. Tadka is oil, garlic and curry leaves fried for 2 mins max and poured over top.

Softly Spiced Mung Beans with Mint and Coriander Yogurt

These tiny, vibrantly khaki — if that's not too strange a concept — beans, thickened with red lentils, make for a dal-like stew that I turn to so often.
