• Boil the kettle. Slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice celery. Roughly chop silverbeet. Rinse red lentils. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return the saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and celery until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add mild North Indian spice blend and tomato paste and cook, tossing, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the boiling water (1 cup for 2 people / 2 cups for 4 people), coconut milk, chicken-style stock powder and lentils. Stir to combine.
• Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft, 20-22 minutes. • In the last 5 minutes, stir through silverbeet and cook until wilted. • When dhal is cooked, stir through chicken and the butter (plus any chicken resting juices). Season to taste.
TIP: If the dhal is looking a little dry at any point, just add a splash of water.
• Divide one-pot chicken and silverbeet dhal between bowls. • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!
