Gather your ingredients.
To a large saucepan on medium heat, add the olive oil. Gently cook the onions for 5 minutes then add the ginger, black pepper, curry powder, fennel and cook for 1 minute before adding the lentils.
Stir the lentils through the spices, add the tomato puree, spinach and boiling water. Bring to a simmer and cover with a lid for 10 to 12 minutes, until the lentils have cooked.
Uncover and add the peas. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Take off the heat and serve with the yoghurt and flatbreads.

I used sun-dried tomatoes instead of tomato puree as it needed using up. It was very nice although the curry flavour was not very intense even though I put in more than the recipe stated. I would boost the flavour makers next time. An easy meal to cook.
Excellent. I didn’t have frozen spinach or peas; I threw in some roasted pumpkin and young silverbeet instead. Used a very nice Malaysian curry powder. Between the curry, the ginger and pepper there was just the right amount of warm spiciness. I love that these recipes are very adaptable.
Added a bit more curry powder and some salt but flavour really develops of time. Better the second day. Super cheap. Added some cherry tomatoes that needed eating.
Tasty. Quick to prepare. I will make again
Have made this dinner a few times now it's really easy to make & very satisfying. I added in smoked tofu to increase the protein content.
Without salt as it is written, it’s not that tasty. Also, I haven’t seen the sign for spicy if it’s there and that would have been quite an important information.
Really tasty, enjoyed by all the family. Easy store cupboard standby put together very quickly
All good
Good but needed a taste lift so l added some Celtic sea salt and some miso. Absolutely delicious will make it regularly.
With the amendments the meal is really nutritious, healthy and moreish
Delicious quick meal with lots of flavour! I will be adding this one to my repertoire.
Beautiful recipe thank you
Delicious! I Added chili as thought it could use a bit of heat
Was a bit lacking in flavor - maybe some additional spices?
Made as for 2 but added 1 large sweet potato. Lovely and warming, looking forward to having for lunch throughout the week
Easy one pot meal, needs some salt though.
Delicious reflects strongly the curry powder chosen. I plan to experiment with this a bit.
Very good recipe, good mix of flavours
Tasty and easy to make, perfect for batch cooking for meals on busy days
Thanks so much for this recipe. I added sweet potatoes and tender stem broccoli, fresh spinach instead of peas (it's what I had in). I also used my own spices as I didn't have curry powder which included cumin, chilli, cumin etc.
Delicious
Really liked this, not an aniseed fan so left out fennel.
