Method

01
The day before you wish to make the dhal, cover the mung beans and asafoetida with just boiled water, cover and set aside somewhere light to sprout.
02
The next day you should see the beans beginning to sprout. When this happens continue with the dish.
03
Make the tarka by heating the ghee in a frying pan and frying the remaining ingredients until fragrant and the mustard seeds begin to pop. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
04
Heat the ghee for the dhal in a large pan and sweat the shallot with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes until soft and sweet but not coloured. Add the garlic, ginger and cinnamon stick and cook for 2 minutes more.
05
Add the remaining vegetables and sauté for 5 minutes until beginning to soften before adding the beans. Add the tarka and stir to combine.
