How to make a potato and parsnip curry stew recipe
Thoroughly rinse the red lentils clean, bring a pan of lightly salt water to the boil then add the lentils - cook until soft.

Drizzle some oil into a large pan and fry the onion son a medium heat for a few minutes, stir often.

Add the garlic and ginger stiring constant for 1-2 minutes.


Turn the heat down a little and add curry and fenugreek powder - stir well for a minute - if the onions start to look dry drizzle a little more oil.

Spices can burn quickly and easily so do not cook the spices longer than a minute.



Add the potatoes, carrots and parsnips to the curried onions - add the dried curry leaves by crushing the leaves using your fingers - add methi.

Pour in enough water so that the potatoes will cook.


Bring to the boil then simmer with the lid on for 30-40 minutes or until all vegetables are cooked.



Once cooked taste and season with salt.



Take a small pan - warm the pan and add the dried coconut - keep shaking the pan so that you lightly toast the coconut, as soon as you start to see the coconut turn golden remove the pan immediately from the heat .

Dried coconut cooks quickly and will carry on cooking from the heat of the pan - keep shaking the pan - pour straight into the curry stew.


A light golden tint to the coconut is best not browned.


Drain the cooked lentils and add to the stew - stir well.



Serve with fresh coriander and yogurt.
