Instructions

1
Rinse red lentils until water runs clear. Set aside.
2
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, tomato, and green chili. Mince the ginger and garlic. Dice the zucchini.
3
Heat 5g of cooking oil in a non-stick pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside.

In a medium pot, heat 5g of cooking oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3 minutes).
5
Add minced ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
6
Stir in chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, mashing the tomatoes, until the mixture thickens and oil separates.
7
Add rinsed red lentils and 400ml of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8
Stir in diced zucchini and fresh spinach. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and spinach has wilted.
9
For the tempering (tadka): In a small separate pan, heat the remaining 5g of cooking oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Pour the hot tempering over the dal.
10
Stir in garam masala and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve the dal alongside the grilled chicken pieces.
