This is the easiest curry to make. Involves very little chopping. Make it as spicy (or less if you prefer) as you like. On days I don't feel like eating, I whizz it up in the blender and it turns into a delicious lentils soup. Read more Use a pressure cooker if you decide to use yellow lentils. See less
