Ingredients:
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 1 Spanish onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled, sliced lengthways
  • 2 long green chillies, halved lengthways
  • 2.50 gm mild Indian curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tomato, coarsely chopped
  • 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped (including leaves)

  • 120g tasty cheese
  • 62.50 ml Greek Style Yoghurt
  • Coriander leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, gently sauté onion, garlic, and chillies in oil until soft, for about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in curry powder, turmeric, and cinnamon. Stir and cook for another minute.
  • Sauté tomatoes, carrots, and celery in a pan for 5 minutes. Pour in lentils, stock, and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes until lentils are tender and soup thickens.
