Just cooked this curry(my first ever from scratch!) , its lovely! Very filling too! Made slight adjustment as i only like a mild curry so just used1 tbsp of med curry powder, may increase it a little next time! Also my first useof green lentils as usually only have split red lentils. Thanks for the recipe and great site! Ali on the isle of wight x

September 14, 2018 at 6:17 amOmg! Made this coconut green lentil curry and can’t believe how tasty it i. My family loved it and is going to be a regular meal in our house as it is so versatile .
I had the left overs for my lunch the second day and it was just as good if not better.
Thank you so much for the brilliant recipes; keep them coming.
Just one question; can it be batch made and frozen?
