This is really quick to throw together, and it’s a raid-the-fridge type meal. If you haven’t got squash or courgette, then that’s not a problem! Maybe you’ve got broccoli, cauliflower, carrot and sweet potato (for example). As long as you have roughly the same weight of vegetables, what they are doesn’t matter too much. Everything goes into one pan, and once it’s simmering away, there’s not much to do other than let it cook. It’s the kind of dish that works well when you want something warm and comforting without spending ages in the kitchen.

It’s also properly filling and balanced, with around 26g of plant protein per portion from the lentils, along with a good amount of fibre to help keep you going. The flavour really depends on the curry powder, so it’s worth using a good one. The Whole Earth curry powder has a nice depth to it without being overpowering, and it makes a big difference to the final dish.

We hope you love this as much as we do!

Once cooked, each serving is roughly 145g rice and 500g curry.

Make the Speedy Red Lentil Dal:

  1. Bring a large saucepan to a medium heat.
  2. Peel and chop the onion, then add it to the pan. If it starts to stick, loosen with a splash of water.
  3. Peel and chop the squash and potatoes into roughly 2 cm cubes, then add to the pan.
  4. Chop the courgette, halve the tomatoes and add to the pan.
  5. Mince the garlic, roughly chop the coriander and add to the pan.
  6. Add the red lentils, water, creamed coconut, curry powder, salt and pepper.
  7. Stir well, cover and bring to the boil.
  8. Once boiling, stir again, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and leave to cook.
  9. Stir occasionally, until the lentils are soft and everything is cooked through – somewhere between 25 and 40 minutes (or until the rice is ready).

Cook the Rice:

  1. Add the rice, water and salt to a large pan and bring to the boil with the lid on.
  2. Once boiling, remove the lid and cook over a medium–high heat for 30 minutes.
  3. Drain well, return to the pan, cover with a lid and leave to steam for 10 minutes.
