This vegetarian curry is hearty and filling, with only a touch of spice (feel free to add more!)

Ingredients
- ½ large onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger (1tbsp approx 1in/2.5cm piece)
- 1 chili optional, can also use more if you prefer hotter
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 14 oz chickpeas (1 can)
- 14 oz diced tomatoes (1 can)
- ¼ cup red lentils
- 1 cup water
- 2 oz spinach
- 2 tablespoon cilantro coriander, approx, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Dice the onion relatively finely and finely chop the garlic, ginger and chili, if using.
- Heat a little oil in a pan (around 1tbsp, not olive oil - vegetable or other unflavored is better) and add the onion. Cook for around 3-5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic, ginger and chili, if using, and cook for another minute or two.
- Add the cumin and coriander and stir in, cook a minute then add the drained chickpeas, tomatoes, lentils and water. Stir well then bring to a boil.
- Cover, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and leave to cook until the lentils have cooked, around 25 minutes, stirring now and then to avoid it sticking too much.
- While the lentils are cooking, chop the spinach relatively small and roughly chop the cilantro. When the lentils are cooked, add both to the pan, stir in and cook a minute until they have wilted down then serve. Can be made ahead and stored a day or two in the fridge.
