Oat & Lentil Curry

Oat & Lentil Curry

Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup red split lentils, soaked in cold water for 30 mins

  • 1 red onion, sliced thinly

  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly

  • 1 small piece of ginger sliced thinly

  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds

  • 1 tsp mustard seeds

  • 1 tsp garam masala

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp chilli flakes

  • 2 sprigs curry leaves

  • 1 tin (400 g) Coles diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup Red Tractor Australian organic creamy style rolled oats

  • 1 1/2 ltr Coles vegetable stock

  • 2 fresh tomatoes, diced

  • ½ bunch coriander, chopped

  • 1 sprigs curry leaf, fried

Method

  • In a large saucepan over a medium heat fry off the onion, garlic and ginger. Fry for a couple of minutes then add the cumin, mustard seeds, garam masala, turmeric, chilli flakes, curry leaves and fry for a minute. Add in tomatoes and stir through the pot.

  • Add in the drained lentil and the oats. Cover with the stock and stir together. Bring the mixture up to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until everything softens and the stock is absorbed. This should take 20 – 25 minutes. The mixture should be thick and silky like a creamy dahl.

  • Serve in a bowl and top with diced tomatoes, chopped coriander and fried curry leaves.
