lentil & chickpea curry.

I found this recipe online after seeing a friend that had made it and it sounds delish! All the gorgeous flavours of a curry but with healthy chickpeas and super healthy lentils! With a bit of brown rice this will be lovely and filling too.

I've not made it yet but will show you when I do, for the mean time here is the simple recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
2 x 439g cans chickpeas, drained
2 x 440g cans chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup red lentils
1 tsp garam masala

Method

• Pop the oil in a pan to warm up and add the garlic and onion. Sauté until translucent and soft.
• Add the chili, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, turmeric and coriander and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Add the chickpeas, tomatoes and lentils, cover and simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes.
• Add the garam masala and simmer for further 10 minutes.
• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with brown rice.

The Result

Not my photo, but it should look a little like this when it's done!
