I created this simple but tastey side dish to accompany a curry. The use of precooked lentils reduces the cooking time. All good curries deserve a dish of lentils as a side dish to compliment the curry and add another flavour while bulking out the meal. This dish can be used as a soup if you add a stock cube or two and more water. Ingredients:
1 ounce butter |
2 tablespoons oil |
1 onion, sliced |
2 garlic cloves, chopped |
500 g precooked lentils (bottled or canned ) |
1 large potato, peeled and cubed |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 dried red chilies, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon turmeric |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/2 cup water |
2 cups cabbage, finely shredded |
Directions:
1. In a pot melt the butter with the oil,.
2. Fry the oniions till light brown in colour, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add all the other ingredients apart from the CABBAGE. reduce heat to medium and cook till potato is tender. Stir in the cabbage, turn off the heat cover pot with a lid and allow to stand for a few minutes.
4. Serve along with a curry of your choice.
