Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Tip in the potatoes, carrots and parsnips, turn up the heat and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables are golden.
  2. Stir in the curry paste or powder, pour in the stock and then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, add the lentils, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the lentils and vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  3. Stir in most of the coriander, season and heat for a minute or so.Top with yogurt and the rest of the coriander. Serve with naan bread.

    This was a really nice dish that I would make again. I also increased the amount of lentils and that worked well. Only thing I would say was that it took much longer than stated for the vegetables to cook through, though this could've been because I chopped them larger than I was meant to I suppose. Not a huge problem though as I simply added a bit more water and left it all simmering. Nice easy dish which could easily be varied by changing the type of vegetables or the type of curry paste.

    This is the best lentil curry i have made!! Its really quick and easy. I used half sweet potato and half a normal variety, and also added cherry tomatoes five mins before serving. Its very tasty but filling and low fat aswel. Perfect!!

    great receipe, so easy to make, and can change vegetables to your preference (I added sweet potato, which goes great with curry). Definately even better the day after, once all flavours have settled. Added a bit of cornflour at the end to thicken it up a bit. This will become a regular during winter as so cheap and easy.

    This is a great recipe! Just eating my leftovers for lunch now, and I think its even better than last night although missing the yoghurt :( ... Served mine with Basmati Rice. I agree that 200g of lentils will work better .. I used 150g and should have gone the extra 50g. I used Sweet Potato, and carrots, but will use normal spuds next time to see the difference.
