Add the dry lentil and spice mix to a large pan.
Add the 400g of chopped tomatoes and 2 cans of water (800ml-1L).
Simmer until the lentils are cooked (35-45 mins), stirring regularly.
Optionally, blend a few cubes of (defrosted) frozen spinach with a tub of cottage cheese and then stir it into the dhal.
Serve with yoghurt, coriander, lemon or toasted sesame seeds.
