Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onions and cook over a high heat for about 8 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a minute. Slowly pour in a little of the stock so it sizzles, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Gradually pour in the rest of the stock.

  • step 2

    Stir the frozen vegetables, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the lentils and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables and lentils are cooked.

  • step 3

    While the curry is simmering, cook the rice according to the packet instructions, adding the turmeric to the cooking water. Drain well.

  • step 4

    Season the curry with salt, toss in a handful of raisins and chopped parsley, then serve with the rice, poppadums and chutney.

Curry paste? Why would I look forward recipes here if I wanted to use curry paste?!

Din

I suppose the answer is in the title: "easy" curry recipe which is good for when I don't have time

How can I see how much 1 serving is?

mrmwscott

Excellent, nice and chunky and full of flavour, from no vegetarians. Ps only used half of the stock liquid.

Do you use red or green curry paste for this recipe? It’s for child and baby so not spicy please

Hi, thanks for your question. You can use any curry paste for this recipe, I like Asda's own curry paste (mixed colours, I don't see them). Best wishes, Barry, of the BBC GoodFood Team
