IndianAll-in-one nigella-spiced whole tomato dhal


In this simple one-pot dhal, the cumin-spiced onion softens while the dhal cooks and infuses with the whole cherry tomatoes and their vines – hands free and completely delicious. You could add a couple of tablespoons of coconut cream at the end for richness if you wish, but it is perfect as it is with flatbreads or buttery basmati rice.
