Go on then what's the recipe?
p.s. is it vegan?

Yes.
For 3-4 large portions:

Bung 250g of those little red lentils into a pan with some turmeric, a couple of pinches of salt and maybe a 1.5 pints of water. Cook until sludgy, break it up with the back of a spoon towards the end – add more water if required. You can also add in a can of chick peas – I’d recommend the little dark ones if you can get them, and/or a handful of spinach.

Halve and thinly slice an onion and 2-3 cloves of garlic: don’t chop the garlic, you want slices. In a frying pan heat maybe 3-4 tablespoons of oil. When hot bung in a couple of teaspoonsful of cumin seeds, then add the onions/garlic and fry until darkish brown, this is critical – don’t burn it black but it needs to be way darker than you’d usually do it. Add half a tsp of onion seeds and a couple of chopped green chillies (to taste), then bung the whole lot into the dal along with a pile of fresh coriander, saving a few leaves for garnish.

Bish bash bosh – one of the nicest home Indian dishes I know, and costs fuck all.

THE END.

It is unlike you to recommend little darkies.

That sounds alright actually, sounds really alright. How many servings do you get out of that?
