Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1/2 cup(full not just to the ‘fill’ line) red lentils (about 125g)
  2. 400 ml/ 1 1/2 cups water
  3. 1/2 tspground turmeric
  4. 1/2 tspchilli powder or chilli flakes
  5. 1/2 tspground cumin
  6. 2medium-sized tomatoes, chopped
  7. 1onion, peeled and chopped
  8. 2 clovesgarlic, peeled and crushed
  9. 1/2 tbspghee or oil
  10. Salt and pepper
  11. To garnish: some chopped spring onion and/ or coriander

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the red lentils, water, turmeric, cumin and chilli in a saucepan (with a lid for later). Bring to the boil. Then turn down to a simmer, cover and simmer gently for about 20 mins. Stir it regularly so the lentils don’t stick. Add more water if needed.

  2. 2

    When the lentils are ready - or about 5 mins before, add the tomatoes to the pan and stir through. Take the lentils off the heat when ready. (You can also add spinach at this point- stirring it through so it wilts.)

  3. 3

    Heat the ghee or oil in a pan on a low- medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring regularly until soft.

  4. 4

    When the onion/ garlic are soft, stir them (and any ghee in the pan) into the lentils.

  5. 5

    Season. Serve and garnish with spring onions and coriander. Enjoy 😋
