A Knorr Vegetable Stock pot gives superb depth of flavour to this quick, easy vegan curry, made with peppers, onions, tinned chickpeas and lentils. Serve piping hot with a shower of fresh coriander and a few lemon wedges. You can ring the changes to the curry by adding cooked pumpkin or butternut – or any other veggies of your choice. If you serve this with wild rice, you’ll have used two ingredients from our list of Knorr Future 50 Foods!
