Method

Heat 2tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan and fry off onions and garlic on a medium heat for a few minutes. Grate in a thumb sized piece of ginger.
Chop sweet potato and carrots into bite size chunks and throw into the saucepan. Add a tsp of salt and mix.
Add 4 tsp curry powder (I use mild), 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp coriander and 1 tsp paprika. Mix for a few minutes and allow the spices to build an aroma and coat the carrot and sweet potato. Then, add your tinned tomatoes and coconut milk. Throw in your green lentils and give it a stir. I add 4 tbsp of Tamari (GF) but you could use soya sauce! Pour in 1 litre of boiling water and squeeze in the juice of a fresh lime. Allow to simmer for 45/50 mins. Just before you plate it up, chop in some pak choi for extra bite and cherry tomatoes for a bit of colour.
Sit back, relax and enjoy!
