Creamy Curry

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press) and ginger. Quarter the chestnut mushrooms. Chop the potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel!).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook until the mushrooms are browned, 4-5 mins. Add the onion, stir together and cook until softened, another 4-5 mins. Add the garlic, ginger, tomato purée and North Indian style curry powder. Stir and cook for 1 minute more.

Pour in the coconut milk and water (see ingredients for amount). Stir in the stock powder and the potato. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and simmer until the potato is cooked, 20-25 mins. Stir every few minutes. Tip: The potato is cooked when you can easily slip a knife through. Add the green beans for the last 5 mins of potato cooking time.

While the curry cooks, drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Halve the lime. Once the curry is cooked and the potato tender, add in the lentils and bring back to the boil. Stir in half the coriander.
