Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Vegetable Stock: 700ml low-sodium vegetable stock
  • Carrot: 200g carrot, diced
  • Curry Powder: 1 tbsp curry powder containing turmeric
  • Red Lentil: 100g red lentil
  • Butternut Squash: 1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and diced
  • Naan Bread: coriander and naan bread, to serve
  • Coconut Milk: 1 can reduced-fat coconut milk

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the squash and carrots, sizzle for 1 min, then stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the lentils, the vegetable stock and coconut milk and give everything a good stir. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15-18 mins until everything is tender.
  2. Using a hand blender or in a food processor, blitz until as smooth as you like. Season and serve scattered with roughly chopped coriander and some naan bread alongside.
