Sometimes this turns out more like a soup, and other times it’s more of a curry. It doesn’t matter really – it’s just seriously yummy!
We cheat with this one and use curry powder, because someone else has agonised over the perfect balance of flavours for you that way!
Onion
Curry powder
A bay leaf or two
A cinnamon stick
Red lentils, about half a packet
Sweet potato, one really big one or a few smaller ones
Coconut milk, one can (we usually use light coconut milk but it’s up to you)

In your pressure cooker pan fry the onion and curry powder together and then add the rest of the ingredients (minus the coconut milk). Add water to cover the lentils and pressure cook for about 8 mins. You want to get it relatively dry. If you don’t have a pressure cooker - get one! You won't regret it. But also you’ll be able to just simmer it gently until the lentils are easy to squish between your thumb and forefinger. Ideally they’ll basically turn to mush.
Once it is cooked and has cooled a little, stir through a can of coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. If your curry has come out a little when you add the coconut milk it will be more like soup – you can eat it as soup or still go ahead and serve it over rice. Either way it’s delicious!
