Lentil curry

Lentils are truly fast food nowadays. I don't bother buying dry lentils because they require soaking and cooking for a long time. I find that the jars of cooked lentils are an excellent store cupboard ingredient and good value for money.
These are so easy to cook, they take only 30 minutes to make and you can just serve them with some sausages to make a tasty super dish.
Of course they can also be part of an Indian meal

• 1 potato, peeled and diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 400 gr cooked lentils
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• salt, pepper
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 piece of ginger, 1cm long
• 1 plain yogurt
• Salt and pepper

Put the ginger and garlic in the glass of a blender, add enough water to be able to liquidise. Blend until smooth and reserve.

Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan and add the onion, fry for 6-10 minutes until browned. Add the curry powder and stir for 2 minutes. Add the yogurt and mix it in well; add the rest of ingredients and cook for 30 minutes until the potatoes are cooked. check the seasoning.
