Step 1

Put a large saucepan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the sunflower oil, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly toasted.

Step 2

Rinse the lentils well, then add them to the pan with the water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

When the lentils are soft and starting to break down, stir in the tikka masala sauce, collagen powder and turmeric. Return to a light simmer and cook until thick and creamy, with the lentils still holding some shape. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

To make the green swirl, add all the ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth and vibrant.

Step 5

For the tadka, heat the olive oil in a small pan. Fry the garlic and chilli until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and mix with the flaked almonds.

Step 6

Divide the dal between four bowls. Swirl over the green sauce and finish with the golden garlic chilli tadka before serving warm.
