Making a dal or stewy lentil dish is something you should do weekly. It's cheap, quick, low effort and great for stretching over a few meals.

Batch Recipe: Thai Red Curry Lentils

Heat the oven to 180°C. Peel and dice the sweet potato into 2cm pieces, then put on a baking tray and drizzle with half the oil, salt and pepper. Pop into the oven for 20 mins. 

Peel and finely chop the onion, then peel and chop the ginger and garlic. Remove the outer layers of the lemongrass, bash with the back of a knife and chop into two pieces. 

Heat the remaining oil in a large pot over a medium heat and add the onion, garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Cook for 5-10 mins until soft and slightly golden. Add the cumin seeds and fry for 30 seconds, then add the curry paste and cook for 2-3 mins until fragrant. 

Add the coconut milk and stock. Rinse the lentils, then add them too and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 mins. Once the dal is cooked, add back in the cooked sweet potato and squeeze in the juice of the limes to taste.

In the process of cooking this one and it is smelling amazing but I did get a bit thrown off by whether the lentils in question are pre-cooked or dried. I went for dried and assumed the weight was pre-cooked so reduced quantities!

Really yummy but soupier than I expected! I only used 1L of stock - would use 500ml next time.

Hi Ella, thanks for the feedback! This recipe uses dried red lentils – we've edited the ingredients list to make this clear.
