This recipe was created by one of the chefs at my place of work in Brentford. It was quite easy to work out the recipe as the ingredients are all visible!
Ingredients
- 1 mug whole masoor
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 2 jalapeno peppers sliced into thin rings (optional)
- 1 cup finely chopped tomatoes
- 3 tbs finely sliced green coriander
- for dressing
- salt to taste
- 1 tbs fresh/bottled lemon juice
- 2 tbs olive oil
- half tsp fresh crushed garlic
- half tsp ground black pepper
Method
- Soak masoor in cold water overnight or in hot water for 2 hours, drain.

- Place in a serving bowl, add onion, sliced jalapeno, tomato and coriander.
