Smooth Lentil Curry


Smooth Lentil curry
In this forgiving stew you can use curry powder or even a few tablespoons Indian pickle if you have any in the refrigerator.

Ingredients for 4:
  • 400gr jar of cooked lentils
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 x 2cm piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp curry powder or Indian pickle
  • 200 ml coconut cream (or yogurt)
  • Salt, pepper

Stir fry the onion in a little olive oil for 10 minutes; add the cumin, garlic, ginger and curry spices. Cook for 1 minute and add the rest of ingredients. Cook over gentle heat for 30 minutes. Serve as part of an Indian meal or as accompaniment to meat.
It is also delicious as a vegetarian Jacket potato filling.
