I love this meal and make it at least once a week. It is very easy and incredibly tasty and filling!
I fry off half a brown onion and a few cloves of garlic in a splash of virgin olive oil. Add spices and fry for a few minutes (cumin, coriander powder, chilli flakes, turmeric, and a sprinkle of mustard seeds). Sorry I am very Jamie Oliver so don't really measure anything but general guide would be start with a heaped teaspoon..
For speed I used a 400g can of organic brown lentils and a 400g can of organic chickpeas. Add these into the spice mix. You can then use water or vegetable stock to make the mixture as saucy as you wish. Do taste your mixture and add some salt if you think it needs it or if you want more of an intense spicy flavour, adjust your spices. I then add in about half a 125ml can of coconut milk. Cook for approximately 20-30 minutes until all the flavours come together and serve with some organic basmati brown rice, perhaps some naan bread and a nice green leafy vegetable and dekha!!
