Ingredients

• 1 onion, diced

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 thumb-size piece of ginger, minced

• 1 tsp chilli flakes

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbs curry powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp ground coriander

• 2 tbs tomato paste

• 2 cup carrot, diced

• 2 cup celery, diced

• 1 cup dry red lentils

• 1/2 can (200mL) coconut milk

To a large pot, add the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli. Add a dash of water and cook on medium heat until the onions turn translucent.

Add in the rest of the spices and stir through, making sure to continue adding water as needed.

Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the carrots and celery.

Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear and add them to the pot. Add in enough water to completely cover the ingredients - about a full standard kettles worth.

Simmer on medium to low heat for 30 minutes or until the lentils are fully cooked.

Top with fresh coriander and squeeze of lemon & enjoy.
