Directions

1

In a large saucepan, heat the oil then fry the onion on a medium heat for around 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.

2

Add the tomato puree, ginger, garlic, turmeric and curry powder and fry for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure it doesn’t burn. Add a splash of water to loosen, if necessary.

3

Pour in the tinned tomatoes and stir to infuse in all of the spices.

4

Add the lentils coconut milk and 250ml of stock, stirring well. Bring to a boil then reduce to a low heat and cover for around 30-35 minutes until the lentils are tender, again stirring occasionally. It is important to keep an eye on them throughout-if they have absorbed all the liquid then add a bit more water or stock as you go (100mls at a time).

5

Pour in the drained beans and cook for a further 3-4 minutes to warm them through and until the lentils are fully cooked. Season well with a good pinch of salt.

6

Serve scattered with the coriander and any toppings of choice.
