- Wash the lentils and put in a saucepan with half of the turmeric. Cover with 2 to 3cm water at the top. Bring to the boil then lower to a simmer.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter then add the onions and chillies and fry until translucent. Add garlic and ginger followed by the tomato, pepper and spices making sure not to burn. Turn off heat.
- When the lentils have gone soft and water has reduced, mash some lentils at the bottom of the pan. The mixture will start to go thick.
- Add the onion mixture to the lentil mixture. Mix well. Add in fresh coriander if desired and serve.
Tip
Add extra water if it's too thick. Add any veg in your fridge you need using up.
