Macadamia Moong Dhal + Gluten Free Roti
Moong Dahl is a version of the dahl that is made from split whole mung beans, and it’s a simple and easy-to-digest Ayurvedic dish that can be enjoyed at all times of the year. In this recipe I’ve added the spin of macadamia butter, which provides a delicious nutty and creamy finish to this classic dish!
This recipe uses Sol’s Moong Dhal. If you don’t have this, simply replace it with 400g dried split mung beans, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp cumin.

INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp ghee
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 (3cm) knob ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 packet Sol Moong Dahl
- 1 cup (250ml) vegetable broth (OR chicken broth)
- 2 tbsp macadamia butter
- 4 cups spinach
- ½ cup macadamias
- 1 lime, to serve
Gluten-free roti
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ cup milk of choice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Ghee, for cooking
METHOD
- Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the ghee.
- Add in the onion, ginger and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until fragrant. Add in the tomato paste and cook off for about 2 minutes.
- Add in the Moong Dahl and allow to cook for 3 minutes, stirring until the spices become fragrant. Pour in the broth and 250ml of water and bring to the boil.
- Turn the heat to low and allow the Dahl to simmer, partially covered for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the macadamias by toasting in a dry pan on medium to high heat for 5 minutes minutes, tossing occasionally.
- To finish off the Dahl, stir in the macadamia butter, and just before serving, plunge in the spinach and allow to wilt.
- Serve topped with toasted macadamias, a squeeze of lime and roti.
Gluten-Free Roti
- Place the chickpea flour, tapioca flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Heat milk to a lukewarm temperature on the stove and add to the flour mixture with the olive oil. Mix until you get a ball of dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 round balls. Using a rolling pin, carefully roll out the dough to a round flat roti, about half a centimetre in thickness.
- Heat a pan over a medium heat. Lightly grease with a teaspoon of ghee to prevent sticking.
- Place the roti on the pan and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.
