Lentil Curry

Put the lentils on to boil with plenty of water and a little salt. The chunks of pumpkin should be cut into one inch cubes. Put the pumpkin chunks on to boil in lightly salted water. Don’t throw the water away
Meanwhile, chop the onions, carrots and peppers into small pieces. Gently fry these on a low heat and in a heavy bottomed pan. Add a little salt and black pepper
When the peppers carrots and onions are soft, add the curry powder and stir it in. Add the soft pumpkin into the mixture and stir
Now add the water the pumpkin was boiled in and the cooked lentils in their juice and let the ingredients stew for a while to allow them all to absorb the flavour of the curry
Finally, add some raisins and a dollop of red jam to the stew. Serve with fluffy plain rice – either white rice of whole grain rice
Sprinkle a little desiccated coconut onto the lentil curry at the last moment before serving. You can also cut up a banana and decorate the plate with the slices
