Serves 4

  • A few washed and chopped coriander leaves, for garnish



    1. Bring 500ml water to boil in a large saucepan over high heat.

    3. Melt the butter or add the oil in another pan over medium heat.
    4. Fry the onion and chilli for 7-9 minutes until golden brown. Add the cooked lentils and cook for a further 2 minutes.
