Method

  1. Heat the curry paste in a large non-stick saucepan with a splash of the stock. Add the onions and fry for 5 mins until starting to soften. Stir in the aubergine and cook for a further 5 mins - add a little more stock if starting to stick.
  2. Add the lentils, coconut milk and the rest of the stock, and simmer for 15 mins or until the lentils are tender. Add the peppers and cook for 5-10 mins more. Stir through the peas and spinach and cook until spinach has just wilted. Serve the curry with rice and mango chutney.

    I felt that this recipe needed more salt and would have benefited from being richer. Perhaps a higher coconut milk to stock ratio?

    Absolutely, delicious! My husband even liked it despite it containing no meat. I did use full-fat coconut milk as I couldn't find any half-fat at my local supermarket.

    It was delicious! I usually do not like very spicy food and maybe should have put 1 not 2 spoons of curry paste but it was great anyway.

    This was yummy ! I didn't have spinach leaves or mango chutney and only had green Thai paste and normal coconut milk in my cupboard, but was delighted with the result. Shall try the above recipe another time maybe, but will definitely remake my version again.

    truly yummy...i had a small courgette & added it to the rest of the veggies. A great way to use up what's left in the veg container. Made it with green Thai paste as well as that what I had in the cupboard. Will definitely do again.

    Excellent recipe. I (like others) adapted it to what I had available - tikka masala paste insead of Thai curry paste; didn't have any spinach, but did add carrots, courgettes and cauliflower, which needed using up. As Melanie (above) said - a great way to use up what's left in the veg container. My husband loved it even more than me - especially with the lentils, which added a "thickness" often missing in veg curries.

    As the website was down (again!) this evening, I had to remember the recipe as best I could. Forgot the peas &, complete oversight, the coconut milk! Still tasted amazing. Would definitely make again.

    Tasty, simple receipe. We tried aubergine the first time then tried butternut squash - even better. Recommend a good quality red thai curry paste - dont use supermarket own brands.

    Have made this three times now. Yesterday for the first time I used half fat coconut milk and was forced to serve the result as a soup! People still enjoyed it though. As a veg. curry I would only use full cream coconut milk. Added beans as well as other veg. Will be making this agin as it is very easy and tasty.
