    Last week I made a lentil curry for friends.

    I did:

    1 1/2 cup lentils (I used mixed... but brown are good which are soaked overnight before using)
    4 cups vegetable stock
    2 carrots chopped or other orange vegetable like sweet potato or pumpkin
    1 celery chopped
    2 potatoes chopped finely
    1/2 cup spinach chopped finely
    1/2 onion chopped
    2 tsp curry powder or curry spice mix... of your choice.... I use the one in the yellow metal tin?
    1 garlic clove crushed
    1/2 tsp ground ginger


    First put some oil in a soup pan, heat it up and add onions until they are transparent, add curry spice, garlic and ginger until the aroma gets stronger. Add chicken stock and the rest of the ingredients, cover and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. Alternatively, you could pop it all in a slow cooker and let it go all day (but I wouldn't soak the lentils beforehand if I was using a slow cooker)
