Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of water in two pots or saucepans.
  • In one pot, cook the lentils for 11 - 13 minutes or until soft, covered. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, boil the rice for 12 - 15 minutes in the other pot.
  • Add half of the turmeric during the final minute of cooking, then drain. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Fry the eggplant
2
  • Dice the eggplant into 1cm cubes.
  • Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the eggplant with salt and pepper, then fry for 8 - 10 minutes or until done. Toss regularly.
  • Dice the tomato. Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. 
  • Mince the ginger or use a microplane as preferred.
Make the curry
3
  • To the eggplant, add the onion, ginger, garlic and yellow curry spices. Mix well and fry for 2 - 3 minutes. 
  • Add the tomato, sugar, garam masala* and the rest of the turmeric. Crumble in the stock cube and fry for 2 minutes (see pantry for amount).
  • Add the lentils and coconut milk. Cook for 1 minute, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Serve
4
  • Cut half of the lime into wedges and juice the rest into a small bowl. Finely chop the fresh herbs, being sure to keep them separate.
  • In a bowl, combine the yogurt with the mint and some lime juice as preferred. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the rice on deep plates, topped with the curry and the yogurt sauce.
  • Garnish with the coriander and the cashews. Serve the lime wedges alongside.
