Steps:
- Mustard Seed and Turmeric Oil:
- Cook oil and mustard seeds in a small saucepan over medium-low, swirling often, until mustard seeds start to pop. Remove from heat and stir in turmeric and cayenne. Season with salt; let cool.
- Cilantro-Raisin Chutney:
- Mix shallot, raisins, cilantro stems, lime juice, and oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stew and assembly:
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook onions and garlic, cut side down, and ginger, stirring onions and ginger occasionally, until onions are translucent and garlic is golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Add curry powder and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chickpeas and 5 cups water, stirring to release any bits stuck on bottom of pot; season with several pinches of salt. Bring to a simmer; cover with a lid, leaving slightly askew so steam can escape. Cook, adjusting heat to maintain a very gentle simmer and skimming foam from surface as needed, until chickpeas have swelled about 50 percent in size but are still crunchy, 25-30 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and lentils to pot; season with more salt. Return to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until chickpeas are tender and lentils have broken down to form a thick broth, 30-35 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Ladle dal into bowls and serve with toasted Mustard Seed and Turmeric Oil, Cilantro-Raisin Chutney, coconut, chiles, and/or cilantro as desired.
- Do Ahead
- Oil can be made 1 day ahead. Store tightly covered at room temperature. Chutney can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Dal can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
CURRIED LENTIL AND CHICKPEA BURGERS
I've never cooked with lentils before. I started out making a curried lentil salad base, refrigerated what I'd done, then decided to changed the recipe into burgers. These have a lot of flavour and a nice texture. They're quite versatile too. I was low on breadcrumbs and had no eggs. I substituted the egg with 1 tablespoon each of powdered milk, plain flour and water. I substituted the breadcrumbs with 100g packet of rice crackers processed (approx 1 cup) and processed 2 pieces of wholegrain toast. NB: I've changed the breadcrumbs measurement from 2c down to 1c based on the first reviewers comments and I've since tested the recipe again. Thanks!

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the vegetables. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the vegetables are evenly chopped.
- Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the burgers will fall apart.
- Use a good quality curry powder. The curry powder is one of the main flavorings in these burgers, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with the toppings. These burgers are delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as yogurt, chutney, or raita. You can also add your favorite vegetables, such as lettuce, tomato, or avocado.
