Instructions
 

  • Heat some water in a saucepan and cook the lentils for 15 mins. They should be cooked but still retain a bite.
  • In the meantime in a separate pan, fry the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and golden.
  • Add the curry paste and ginger and fry for another 2 mins or so.
  • Add the diced sweet potato plus the vegetable stock to the onion and garlic mixture. Bring to boil and cook under medium heat for 8-10mins. Do not let it go to mash, the sweet potatoes should be cooked but still have a bit of a bite. You also want the liquid to evaporate.
  • Add the tomatoes, chickpeas and lentils to the sweet potatoes. Cook for another 10 mins until the liquid has almost all evaporated. Add cashews and heat through.
  • Just before serving add some lime juice and fresh coriander. Season to taste.
