To roast the beetroot

To make the dhal

1. Firstly add the oil to a large frying pan and heat to a medium heat. Add in the mustard seeds. When they start to pop add in the cumin seeds, coriander, turmeric and chilli flakes. Stir for a few seconds then add the onion. Fry for approximately 8-10 minutes on a low to medium heat until soft and browning.
2. Add in the garlic, ginger and grated beetroot and stir for another few minutes.
3. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes then add the lentils, water and coconut milk/yoghurt.
4. Stir well then turn down the heat and put the lid on the pan.
5. Simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed.

To make the flatbreads

1. Add the gram flour and seasoning to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the water, olive oil and vinegar. Mix to a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Add a little oil to the base of a non-stick small frying pan. Add 60ml/¼ cup of the batter to the pan and swirl around the bottom so you get an even crepe.
3. Cook on a medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until there are bubbles in the crepe and you can lift over to flip easily.
4. Flip and cook on the other side for 30 seconds to a minute.
5. Remove from the pan and place on and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
