Cooking Steps
If you don't have a toaster, heat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 for the naans.
Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks. Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
Zest and halve the lime.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Once hot, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 5-6 mins.
Add the pasanda style seasoning, garam masala, lime zest and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 min more.
Stir in the coconut milk (see ingredients for amount), lentils, veg stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) until combined.
Bring the curry to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, 6-8 mins.
Stir through the tomato and spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Once the veg has been added to the curry, cut the naans in half widthways, then put in your toaster until golden.
If you're using the oven, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with a little water and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Once warmed, generously spread the butter (see pantry for amount) over the naans.
Once the curry has thickened slightly, stir through the mango chutney and a squeeze of lime juice.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and more lime juice if needed. Remove from the heat.
Share the lentil curry between your bowls.
Serve with the buttery naans alongside.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The curry delivers warming, well-spiced flavour, though some find the mango chutney makes it quite sweet; reducing the amount or leaving it out can help balance the dish.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, with most of the cooking done in a single pan.
- Suggestions: The sauce can turn out quite thin, so consider using less water than stated or stirring in a little cornflour to reach a thicker consistency. Adding extra vegetables such as cauliflower, courgette, or butternut squash helps bulk it out, and serving with rice alongside the naans makes it more filling.
- Next-day meals: Some found the portions on the lighter side; adding extra veg or a portion of rice is an easy way to make it go further.
- Spice level: Several reviewers found the dish spicier than expected; if you prefer a milder curry, start with a smaller amount of the spice sachets and add more to taste, or stir in a little plain yoghurt to cool it down.
