Tomatoes in moong dal:

Heat up the ghee and fry the spices lightly. Apart from the herbs, place all the ingredients in a greased, oven-proof dish and stir a little. Cover and bake in a preheated oven for 60 minutes at 200°C, then for a further 30 minutes at 100°C.

Sprinkle the fresh herbs on top and serve.

Cinnamon carrots with raisins and dates:

Steam the carrots until soft. Heat the ghee in a frying pan, add the grated coconut and brown lightly. Toss the carrots in the coconut. Sprinkle the cane sugar and cinnamon over the top and lightly glaze the carrots. Add the raisins and dates, toss it all together vigorously and add salt and pepper to taste.

Cashew and parsley chutney:

Mix all the ingredients in a blender. For a spicy variation, add 1 tbs cayenne pepper to taste.
