Pile into bowls and top with the crispy sweet potatoes, spoonfuls of the coconut chutney and the remaining coriander. To finish your dhal, take it off the heat, then stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt a little, stirring in half the chopped coriander and the lemon juice too. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the ginger and chilli and give it a good mix. Fry the mustard seeds and curry leaves in a little oil until they begin to crackle, then pour the mixture over the coconut. Drain the coconut and put it into a bowl. Add the lentils, coconut milk and stock to the pan and bring to a simmer, then turn the heat down and bubble away for 25–30 minutes. Grind the cumin and coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar, then add to the pan with the other spices and cook for a couple of minutes to toast and release the oils. In a large saucepan, sizzle the garlic, ginger, chilli and red onion in a little oil for about 10 minutes, until soft and sweet. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, until soft and sweet in the middle and crispy brown on the outside. Put your sweet potatoes on a roasting tray and add a good pinch of salt and pepper, the cumin and fennel seeds and a drizzle of olive oil. Pour 150ml of boiling water over the coconut and leave to soak. Preheat your oven to 220☌/fan 200☌/gas 7.

I’m going to be cooking an old favourite that I know many of you will know and love for the first #SaturdayNightCook, my sweet potato dahl with coconut chutney, along with a kachumber salad. Call your mates – see their faces – cook or eat with them. So I thought: why don’t we all cook together this Saturday night? To make a bit of an effort without having to change out of our leisurewear. Saturdays in our house have become the time to spend a bit more time and effort on a meal and each weekend I’ve tried to make a simple but colourful feast to punctuate the week. (See the #makingamealofit from my friend Laura Jackson for some table inspiration.) In the past month or so, lots of households I know seem to be finding happiness in focusing on feeding themselves well and eating together. Seeing you all cook my rhubarb cookies last week made it feel like we were somehow together and lifted me up. But in these wild times days doing the same thing as others brings me great comfort. For years many of us have been trying to be different – to find the thing no one else is doing, be the first one to discover something. There is a solidarity in doing the same things right now.
