Definitely an experiment with lentils at the back of the cupboard, but can’t really go wrong with this kind of thing. Very tasty, quick to make and healthy! #lowcarb

Steps

30 mins

1

Gather and measure out your ingredients. Slice the onion, chop the red pepper and mince the ginger and garlic. Lastly rinse and strain the red lentils.
2

Heat the oil in a pan on a medium heat and add the garlic and ginger. We don’t want them to burn so after a minute lower the heat, add the sliced onions and sweat down for a few minutes.
3

Next mix in the curry powder and cayenne pepper and continue to cook for a minute. Should start to smell delicious already!
4

Now add the lentils and 2 cups of water, bring to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes.
5

Half way through the simmering add the peppers and cherry tomatoes. Keep an eye on this. If it starts to get too dry add another cup of water.
6

While the curry is simmering away, dice the tofu and press between two paper towels to get it nice and dry, then stir the tofu into the curry.
7

Let this cook for another 5 minutes or so. Have a taste carefully and add the yoghurt if it’s too spicy. Serve and sprinkle with fresh coriander.
