Ingredients
260g red lentils - washed
1 vegetable stock cube
3 cloves of garlic - thinly sliced
2 tbsp of light soy sauce (no need to add salt)
1 tbsp medium curry powder
1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 x 400g tin of light coconut milk
Black pepper
1 lime
Fresh coriander and red chillies to garnish
Coconut yoghurt (optional)
How to make it...
- To get any impurities out, run your lentils under a cold tap and rinse well. Once clear, leave to drain to one side while you slice your garlic.
- Next, simply add all our your ingredients to a saucepan and put it on a low-medium heat (or on the simmering plate) and cook for 20 minutes or until cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once cooked, serve in a bowl and top with coriander, a slice of lime, thinly sliced chillies and coconut yoghurt as you like. Simply serve alongside a warm naan bread or white/brown rice.
