4. Stir in the lentils.
5. Pour in the stock and Lactofree dairy drink and bring up to the boil, stir in the coconut, turn heat down and gently simmer for 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, make the tomato salsa by simply combining all the ingredients together, season and spoon into a serving bowl.

Health notes

Served with relish and chapattis, this curry provides you with almost 2 of your 5 a day and is a filling tasty meal. The salt content is lower than many supermarket or restaurant curries and the saturated fat and total fat can be easily reduced if desired by adding less creamed coconut.
