- Put the split peas in a pan with 600ml/1pt cold water. Bring to the boil and skim the surface to remove any scum. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a pan and cook the onion and garlic for 4 mins until softened. Stir in the spices, then cook for a further minute. Stir this mixture and the raisins into the split peas, then cook for a further 10 mins until soft and creamy. Stir in the chickpeas, chutney and coriander and heat through. Season to taste.
- Slice the tops off the beef tomatoes and reserve. Scrape out the insides and discard. Spoon the dhal mixture into the tomatoes and replace the tops. Place on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining oil. Cook for 20 mins until the tomatoes have softened.
