Lentil and vegetable curry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons korma paste
- 3/4 cup dried French-style lentils
- 400g can no added salt chopped tomatoes
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 reduced salt vegetable stock cube, crumbled
- 400g (1/2 medium) cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 300g (1 small) eggplant, cut into 2.5cm dice
- 100g button mushrooms, halved
- 150g green beans, topped, halved
- 1/2 cup chopped coriander
- 1/2 cup reduced fat plain yoghurt, to serve
- 2 small wholemeal pita breads, halved, to serve
- Heat oil in a large, deep non-stick frying pan or a large deep saucepan over a medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is soft and light golden.
- Add korma paste and lentils. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, water and stock cube. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and cover with lid. Simmer, covered for 10 minutes.
- Stir in cauliflower, eggplant and mushrooms. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in beans. Simmer, uncovered for a further 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat. Stir in coriander.
- Serve with yoghurt and pita bread
Tips
- You can replace eggplant with sweet potato, pumpkin, or regular potatoes, cut into 2cm pieces. Increase cooking time slightly if necessary to ensure vegetables are tender.
- Slate-green coloured French style lentils are also known as Puy lentils. They don’t require soaking and have a relatively short cooking time. You’ll find them in the soup aisle in supermarkets and at major fruit and vegetable stores
