Beetroot, Carrot and Coconut Daal

This time I went back to Rukmini Iyer’s India Express book for a more eastern recipe. I picked out Beetroot, Carrot and Coconut Daal, a traditional veg stew. 

Should have taken 65 mins; took me 91, partly because I chopped the carrots instead of grating them, then tried to grate every individual wheel. That wasn’t easy, so I put them in a blender with some water (to raise it above the blades) instead. Effort. Then I put half the veg in too early. 

Result: the daal actually tasted pretty good, with the coconut milk really mellowing out the flavours. There was a lot of it to get through over the following few days.
