Chickpea Dhal
Chickpeas work wonderfully in a
dhal - giving the meal a genuine
substance as well as soaking up the
spices and
flavours they are cooked in.

This is a
simple dish that can be whipped up after a long day at work with little hassle. It provides a great source of
fibre thanks to the rice and legumes,
immune-boosting properties from the spices, and is a source of
meat-free protein which is more readily digestible by the body.

You could alternatively serve this dhal with
warmed pita breads if preferred.
