- STEP 3After the lentils have been in for 25 min remove them from the pan. Cook the garlic (crushed) and curry powder for a minute. Add the red pepper, tomatoes, coconut powder, lentils (which should be in about 200ml worth of water , if not top up water as appropriate). Simmer all of these for 15 min.
