Method

Step 1:

In a large saucepan, heat the cooking oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for around 5 minutes until soft.

Step 2:

Add the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and chillies, and stir.

Step 3:

Add the tinned tomatoes and mash with the spoon to make sure any large chunks are broken down.

Step 4:

Add the vegetable stock, lentils, carrots, sweet potato and celery, and stir well. Bring to the boil.

Step 5:

Once boiling, cover with a lid and lower the heat to simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 6:

After 30 minutes, check that the vegetables are tender and the lentils are cooked through (you may have to keep cooking uncovered for a further 10 minutes).

Step 7:

Add in the chopped coriander, stir and remove from the flame.

Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
