Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp hot curry paste
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 cm gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seed
200 g red lentils
1 1/2 liters chicken stock
50 g small raisins
1 lime , juice and zest of, only
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
150 g natural nonfat yogurt
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Directions:

Curry paste is made using vegetable oil but it has loads more flavour and none of the harshness of curry powder, so I do think it's worth sacrificing a few calories for.
If you choose to substitute powder for paste, please do fry it in a little oil for a few minutes to take away the rawness of the spices.
Place the curry paste, onion, garlic, ginger and cumin seeds in a large pan and cook gently together for three minutes.
Add the lentils and stock, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Add the sultanas and cook for a further 10 minutes. Add the lime rind and juice and season to taste.
Ladle into bowls and top each serving with a large spoonful of yoghurt and a sprinkling of mint.
