Cooking Steps

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.

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.

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.

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.
