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.

    Delicious. Made double to freeze half and used a courgette instead of another aubergine (so 1 aubergine, 1 courgette), and frozen mixed carrots, peas and sweetcorn instead of just peas. Also didn't buy reduced fat cocounut milk because it costs more when all they've done is add more water. So I made full fat coconut milk from a block of coconut cream which costs half the price. Also, used 4 tablespoons of curry paste (because I made double that's the equivalent of using 2 in the original recipe) and it had a good heat level. Portions generous :) Great way to use up random veg!

    My husband announced he wanted to make dinner the other night (he's not the most experienced cook) and I suggested he make this. It was absolutely delicious and he was very pleased with himself! We'll definitely be having this again.

    Great recipe! Very easy to make - used butternut squash instead of aubergine and added half a tin of chick peas (left over from red lentil, chick pea & chilli soup which was yummy too!) Used frozen spinach which I always have in the freezer. We didn't have rice but just had a big bowl of curry with naan bread & mango chutney. Will be making it again. Next time I'll try adding sweet potato.

    I haven't made this yet, but when using half fat coconut milk I always stir in a teaspoon of cornflour to thicken it up.

    A lovely way to get your 5-a-day, I doubled the recipe and cooked 350g of chicken (diced) in a little olive oil and added that when adding peppers etc. Also added some green beans and a diced courgette. Will freeze what's left in zipped freezer bags.

    Forgot to say , I only used 1 aubergine as I'd added the beans and courgette, just to even out the veg ratio.

    Really enjoyed this one. There was half a courgette in the bottom of the fridge, so added that and used full fat coconut milk because that was in the cupboard. I would consider using almost any vegetable in this dish.

    Nice filling veg curry, not very hot but i think that was down to the curry paste and not the recipe. Will try it again with a better paste!

    Lovely recipe. The only adjustment I made was to double the amount of coconut milk as i added more veg. Will definitely make this again. Healthy and tasty.

    Surprisingly nice considering how healthy it is! It doesn't smell particularly appetising while it's cooking, but the final product tastes great. I have made it a few times and use full fat coconut milk. It can be difficult to get a 200ml can and on one occasion I chucked in a full 400ml can without thinking, so just added a good handful more lentils to thicken it up, and it was fine. I thought this didn't smell very nice
