Instructions
- Put 850ml (1 ½ pints) of water in a saucepan or wok and add grated ginger, ground cumin, grated turmeric (if using), ground turmeric and 1tsp of salt then bring to the boil.
- Add washed lentils (agitate in a sieve with running water) and bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Then add the diced potato and cook until the lentils turn mushy, about 25 minutes (stirring at intervals to stop the mixture sticking).
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and fry the cumin seeds for 30 seconds or until browned and fragrant.
- Add onion and pepper and fry over a fairly high heat until the onion has browned.
- Lower the heat and add the Madras curry powder, garlic and chopped tomatoes.
- Cook for a minute and then add to the lentil mixture, taste, season with more salt and add the sweetcorn or peas.
- Cook gently for a further 5-10 minutes under a lid until the sweetcorn/peas are cooked.
- Mix the Greek yogurt, chopped coriander, crushed garlic and salt together to make the dressing.
- Serve with Basmati rice or roti and top with the yogurt dressing. Mango chutney goes really well too!
Notes
- For a hotter curry add more Madras curry powder or use a hotter curry powder. Try ringing in the changes with other vegetables from the freezer such as spinach, broad beans etc.You could also have this as a side dish to a meat curry.
