Just refound my recipe from a little vegetarian cafe from when I was a student. It is gorgeous. Big batch cooling down right now:
Ingredients
oil for frying onion
2 onions finely chopped
300g of washed red lentils
1l water
1 block creamed coconut
1 chilli deseeded and finely chopped (I used a tsp of very lazy chilli from a jar)
1 small red pepper finely chopped
1 tbsp cumin seeds (I used 1tsp ground cumin)
3tsp chopped frewsh coriander (I used 1 tsp ground coriander
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Method
Fry onion unitl soft
Add washed lentils and water and cook for about 10-15 mins until lentils are tender
Add coconut (I cut it up a bit to help it to dissolve), cumin and red pepper and cook for 5 mins
STir in coriander and lemon juice
Add salt and pepper if you need it (I havent added it)
EVEN DH who is a non-lentil eater of any sort thinks it is delish
