  I had this last night. I thought it was rubbish. The lentils were tasteless. The whole dish was a bit weird.

  The lentils part was a bit stodgy, it was absolutely essential to mix it with the yoghurt for a better taste. I liked the way of stir-frying the okra with the garlic, cumin seeds and chilli. I would make the okra again but I'm not sure about the lentils.

  Better idea: For the lentils - Simmer lentils, 1tsp turmeric and 200ml veg stock or to cover in pan. When lentils cooked, add 1tbsp minced ginger and garlic, 1 tsp cumin and coriander, 1 1/2 tbsp chopped tomato. check seasoning and serve. For the okra - Start with a gently fried base of chopped onion, ginger and garlic. When onions soft, add the okra and spices. cover and cook gently til done. Add chillies liberally where required ;D

  This is a brilliant idea for a quick-ish, healthy, filling mid-week supper. The recipe is so straight forward, it's only two steps really. The lentils benefit from a bit of extra seasoning, I added a teaspoon of salt and some pepper. I love okra, and will probably use even more of it next time. Make sure you cook the okra quickly on a high heat, or it can go a little bit slimy.
