What you need
- ·95g red lentils
- ·250g chopped tomatoes
- ·170g frozen peas
- ·150g baby spinach
- ·30g pea protein powder
- ·70g onions

Method
- 1Onion properly soft first — eight minutes. Every flat dhal is a rushed onion.
- 2Garlic, ginger and spices for a minute, then the lentils, tomatoes, stock and 400ml water.
- 3Twenty minutes at a low simmer, stirred now and then so the bottom does not catch.
- 4Peas and spinach in for three minutes, then beat it hard with the spoon — that is what makes it dhal rather than lentils in liquid.
- 5Off the heat, pea protein whisked in a bit at a time, then the lemon.
No rice on purpose: the rice is what drops the protein per calorie below what a cutting athlete needs. Eat it as a bowl, thick enough to stand a spoon in.
