Description

Gently spiced and nourishing, this dish is just right for weeknight dinners with leftovers for lunches.

Method

Step 1 of 7

In a large heavy-based pan, heat the oil on medium before adding the chopped onion, grated ginger and chopped chilli if using. Cook, stirring, until softened but not browned.

Step 2 of 7

Add the spices, (but not the garam masala yet) and stir to coat in the oil until it becomes aromatic.

Step 3 of 7

Add coconut milk and 3 cups of water, then add vegetables in order of the ingredient list, so that the firmer ones get a little longer to cook if you're chopping as you go.

Step 4 of 7

Lastly add the drained tin of lentils, which will mash somewhat into the curry and thicken it slightly as it cooks.

Step 5 of 7

Stir once all the vegetables are added and now decide if you'd like more sauce - add a further 2 or 3 cups of water (I like enough liquid to just cover the vegetables), bring to a gentle simmer and cook without covering for 30 minutes or until vegetables are cooked to your liking.

Step 6 of 7

Add salt and pepper to taste, add garam masala.

Step 7 of 7

Garnish with coarsely chopped coriander, serve hot in a shallow bowl with flat bread or rice.
