Dahl Curry

This was a quickly improvised lentil curry, thrown together out of what was sitting in my pantry one night... but it was REALLY yummy and everyone in the family happily enjoyed their meal, so a win all round!!

1. Onion, garlic, ginger root into blender until a paste;
2. Transfered to deep frypan with small amount of rice bran oil, added 1 heaped Tablespoon of 'Clive of India' 3. Curry Powder, plus 2Teaspoons of Garam Masala;
4. Fryed together while stirring for a couple of minutes until cooked through;
5. Added about 1kg of freshly chopped tomato, stirring while brought to boil and cooked until quite sauce-like;
6. Added a bottle (700mL) of Passata, a tin of (100%) coconut cream, two tins of Brown Lentils and two tins of Red Kidney Beans;
7. Simmer uncovered for about half an hour stirring occasionally.

Served with brown rice and Pappadums :)
