450ml

vegetable stock

small onion, finely chopped

tomatoes, chopped

100g

1/2 tspn

organic turmeric

1 tsp

Steenbergs organic chana masala spice blend

organic birds eye chillies (dried)

large sweet potato, cut into small pieces

Lentils are a great store cupboard standby as they are good for you, cheap, and very versatile.

lentils need spices to give them extra flavour and Steenbergs have so many to choose from.

Recipe for 2

(I used measuring spoons rather than kitchen-drawer spoons for ingredients)

Method

Put all ingredients, except sweet potato, beans and spinach in a pan. Bring to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove birds eye chillies.
Add sweet potato, beans and cook until tender (another 10 minutes). I added a little more water at this stage to stop it drying out.
Stir in spinach and cook for a minute until wilted. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with naan bread.
