Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Essential Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Essential Onions, chopped
  • 3 clove/s garlic, crushed
  • 900ml vegetable stock, made with 2 stock cubes
  • 200g red split lentils
  • 1 Essential Swede, cut into 2cm cubes

  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 150g Essential Low Fat Greek Style Yogurt

Method

  1. Heat ½ the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onions for 5 minutes until lightly golden. Stir in the garlic, vegetable stock, lentils, swede, turmeric and ginger paste and cumin. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and cook gently for 15 minutes.

  2. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the paneer for 3 minutes, stirring until golden on all sides. Stir in the chilli and parsley and remove from the heat.

  3. Check the seasoning, adding a little salt if necessary. Ladle into shallow bowls and serve topped with the yogurt and paneer.

Cook’s tip

For a vegan take on this recipe, omit the paneer. Use dairy free yogurt alternative and combine Violife Greek White Block, crumbled, with the chilli and parsley to spoon on top.
