Add the lentils, water, turmeric and ginger to your slow cooker and stir to combine.

Cook on high for 3 hours, or until the lentils are tender.

When the dahl is ready, season generously with salt and remove the ginger slices.

Just before serving, heat the butter in a small fry pan over a medium heat.

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle until fragrant.

Remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir through the ground coriander.

Pour half the butter mix into the dahl and stir to combine.

To serve, spoon the remaining spice mix over top of the dahl and sprinkle with the fresh coriander.
