Stay Awake

1 Spray a small saucepan with oil and place over a medium heat. Add spring onions and capsicum and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

2 Add pumpkin, lentils and 3/4 cup water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is tender and lentils cooked.

3 Add beans in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Stir together coconut milk powder and 1 tablespoon of warm water then stir into curry. Season with freshly ground black pepper and top with coriander. Serve with raita and warm naan.

Variations

Coconut milk powder is a useful ingredient when cooking for one, but if you’re using it to make coconut milk, don’t follow the on-pack instructions as this will be high in saturated fat. Make a light version by mixing 1/4 cup powder mixed with 230ml water to make 1 cup.
