Water for the Curry
a) Preheat your oven to 210°C.
b) Peel and chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel).
c) Pop the sweet potato onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 16-18 mins.
a) Halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces.
b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the lime.
c) Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
b) Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 1-2 mins.
c) Add the garlic and pasanda style seasoning. Cook, stirring, 1 min.
a) Add the coconut milk, veg stock paste and water for the curry (see ingredients for amount). Mix well, then add the lentils.

a) Add the spinach to the curry a handful at a time. Stir until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
b) Once the sweet potato is cooked, add to the curry with a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and season if needed. TIP: Add a splash more water if it’s a bit dry.
c) Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
a) Divide the lentil and chicken curry between your bowls.
b) Serve with any remaining lime wedges for squeezing over. Enjoy!
MOD STEP 4: If you've added prawns to your curry, once the chicken is cooked, stir the prawns into the curry and cook for another 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
