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)

I posted this the other day in slow cooker recipies...

I dont eat meat, so all vege here.

Lentil and Vege Rogan Josh....

1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1 cup frozen peas
3 small potatoes/1 large potato, peeled and chopped
1 onion chopped
1 can lentils, drained
1 jar rogan josh simmer sauce (you didn't think I actually made it from scratch did you??)
1 jar water (gives you a nice sauce)
1 Tbsp sugar (optional but mine needed it)

Just pop it all in the slow cooker, stir, and I cooked on high for 4 hours and then low for another hour serve with basmati rice...i had mine with heaps of natural yoghurt dolloped on top....

Inanna posted the best Lentil lasange recipe a while back, I have it written down but it is in a box packed at the moment, I will see if I can find it on BB for you... sometimes I change it a little and use risoni pasta instead of lasagne sheets.

My DH is a big meat eater and he likes it too!

I will be back when I find it .

Oh lentils I love lentils but have never cooked them my self (apart from using dried soup mix).

How do you cook them? Do they all need to be soaked?

sorry for taking over thread.

Daintree dream lasagna sounds yum
