Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2-3 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 cm ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 2 small chillies, finely diced
- 1 tbsps curry powder, medium heat
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- Knorr vegetable stock pot
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup brown lentils
- *optional 1-2 tsp cayenne pepper *optional
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 ½ cups plain yoghurt
- non-stick cooking spray
- garlic butter, melted
- plain yoghurt
- fresh coriander
Preparation method
- Cover lentils in warm water with a squeeze of lemon juice. Soak for 1-3 hours.
- Melt the butter on a medium/low heat in a medium saucepan.
- Add the onion, garlic, ginger and sliced chili and sauté until onions are soft, 5-7 minutes.
- Combine the curry powder and turmeric and add, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, 1 Knorr Vegetable stock Pot, boiling water, lentils, cayenne pepper (optional) and coconut milk and bring to the boil. Allow to simmer 35-40 minutes until the lentils are soft and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Prepare the iconic Foodies of SA 2 ingredient dough: Sift the flour and gently fold in the yogurt with a spatula until the mixture forms a dough. On a floured surface, knead the dough by hand for 5-8 minutes. If too sticky, add more flour while kneading.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a disk.
- Pre-heat an oven to 180°C.
- Set 4 oven-safe bowls on a baking sheet, upside-down. Spray with non-stick oil, then drape dough over each ramekin. The dough should almost - but not quite - touch the baking sheet. Prick the flat top of the dough with a fork several times.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Lift the naan off the bowls and set the bowls aside. Set the bread bowls right side up on the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, until insides are golden.
- Brush the insides of the bowls with garlic butter and fill with a generous portion of rice and curry. Top with a dollop of plain yoghurt and garnish with fresh coriander and ENJOY!
