LENTIL & SWEET POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil in a large pan, add 1 chopped red onion and cook for a few mins until softened.
• Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp mustard seeds and 1 tbsp medium curry powder and cook for 1 min more, then stir in 100g red or green lentils (or a mixture), 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into chunks, 500ml vegetable stock and a 400g can chopped tomatoes.
• Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender. Add a drained 400g can chickpeas, then heat through.
• Season, sprinkle with ¼ small pack coriander, if you like, and serve with seasoned yogurt and naan bread.

SLOW COOKER RED LENTIL & CHICKPEA CURRY WITH POTATOES & PEAS

Steps:

• To a 4-quart or larger slow cooker, add the lentils, chickpeas, onion, garlic, potatoes, vegetable broth, curry powder, cayenne pepper if using, and salt. Stir, place the lid on the slow cooker, and cook on low for 7-8 hours (high for about 4 hours), until the potatoes and lentils are cooked through. It'll be relatively thick until you do the next step.
• About 30 minutes before eating, start cooking your rice and stir in the coconut milk and peas. Continue cooking on low for another 20-30 minutes.
• Taste and add additional salt if desired.
• To serve, add some rice to your bowl plus the curry. Top with fresh cilantro. That's it!
