Green Lentil & Coconut Curry
Serves: 4
Ingredients
2 cups of green lentils, rinsed
1.5 litres of vegetable stock (or 1.5 litres water with 1 stock cube)
1 white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, minced
1 chili, finely chopped
1.5 tablespoons of curry powder
1 tablespoon of white mustard seeds
1.5 tablespoons of garam masala
¾ cup of tomato paste
½ cup of coconut milk
2 handful spinach leaves
Coriander to garnish
Directions
Rinse lentils well until the water runs clear (this step is important)
Cover lentils with water in a large pot and bring to the boil. Turn heat down and simmer for around 15 minutes
At the same time that the lentils are cooking, dice onion, garlic, chilli and ginger and fry in a little oil on a low heat until the onion begins to turn translucent (around 10 minutes)
Add the spices to the onions and cook for a couple of minutes to form a dry spice mixture
Add the coconut milk and tomato paste to the onions and spices and stir. This will help lift all the spices from the bottom of the pan.
Pour into the saucepan with the lentils and simmer for a further 20 minutes
Add spinach about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time
Serve with brown rice and garnish with coriander
