Method

  • step 1

    In a non-stick frying pan, dry-fry onion and mince over a high heat for 2 mins, breaking up the mince as you go. Stir in the curry powder and lentils, pour in stock, then fiercely simmer for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    While the mince is cooking, dice the tomatoes and roughly chop the coriander, then mix together in a small bowl. Put the naans briefly in a toaster to warm through, then pop one on each plate. Spoon a quarter of the mince over each naan, then top with a spoonful of the fresh tomato and coriander salad.

My children loved this, I thought it was good but not special. As others suggested, I added a couple of carrots plus some garlic and a little sugar at the end. Served with homemade flat bread, the tomato salad, peanuts, sliced banana and mango chutney.

Used 500g beef mince and 2 x red onions but otherwise kept the same ingredients. Delicious!

We didn't find this very appetising so I won't rush to do this again.

I assume that the large quantity of liquid is necessary for the dried lentils, and if you used tinned then less stock would be needed. Am I correct?

700 ml of stock? Surely that is a typo? I am about to find out...
