Method

In a large pan, heat the oil and add the finely sliced onion – sauté for 5-10 minutes until soft. Then add the garlic and continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add all the dry spices and stir well and cook for a couple of minutes. Tip in the lentils and stir with the onion and spices.

Pour over the vegetable stock and stir. Bring to the boil, then to a simmer. Place a lid over the top of the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Then add the chickpeas, coconut milk, spinach leaves and half the coriander. Stir and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Remove from the heat. Scatter with more coriander leaves, fresh sliced chilli, a spoonful of coconut yoghurt and serve.
