Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Ginger – a thumb-sized piece, finely grated
6 curry leaves (optional)
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
75g red lentils
400ml tin coconut milk
400ml vegetable stock
Fresh coriander, a handful, torn
1 lime, cut into wedges
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook three-quarters of the onion for 10 mins until softened.
2. Add the garlic, ginger and curry leaves (if using) and cook for 2 mins.
3. Add in the spices and cook for 1 min.
