Hi
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
I LOVE your website. Thank-you for doing this – SW is so much more interesting now!
This sounds amazing! Have you tried it in a slow cooker? Just wondering what, if any, adjustments need to be made, how long to cook, etc.
I haven’t tried it in a slow cooker, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, perhaps may need to adjust liquid.
Siobhan… a hit again .. never used the green lentils before but that will now be used regularly.. just changed some of the veg because of what I had in . Really tasty and is definitely being made again … many thanks x
Love this recipe! Tastes amazing! Have made it several times, added chicken breast/turkey steak strips too for a meaty dish! 10/10!!
it’s one of my go budget recipes, great idea to add some extra protein.
