Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup lentils
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium sized onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp ginger paste (optional)
  • 1 can mixed vegetable
  • 1 tsp all purpose seasoning
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp chilli/cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 dash of safron (optional)
  • ½ tsp cumin ground/seeds
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 cup water boiled

Method
 

  1. In a pan, add oil to medium low heat
  2. Add onions and garlic and let cook down for 5 minutes or until soft. (If using ginger paste, add as well)
  3. Add curry powder and garam masala to pan, and let heat for 1 minute
  4. Add vegetables to pan, stirring well, and let cook. If you find everything is sticking to pan, lower heat
  5. When everything is mixed well, add cooked lentil, making sure everything is combined
  6. Season with spices, and let cook together for around 5 minutes.
  7. Add coconut milk and water, and allow to simmer before covering for 15 minutes or until vegetables have cooked (if using fresh veg).
  8. After 15 minutes is up, uncover and taste your curry. If you need to add anymore spices (curry etc.) let it simmer for another 5 minutes so the spices can cook. If happy with the taste, turn off heat and serve.

Notes

Tip: If curry is too thin/thick adding water or reducing longer with help with the consistency.
Tip: Basmati rice is great with this dish
Tip: You can substitute in curry paste
