- Heat the oil over a high heat in a large flameproof casserole dish. Add the onion; cook for 2 mins until turning golden. Add curry powder, garlic and ginger, peeled and grated; cook for 1 min.
- Add the lentils, chopped tomatoes and hot stock. Stir, cover and simmer for 40-45 mins until the lentils are soft. Add a little hot water if it's becoming dry. Season; stir through the coriander.
- Once cool, freeze in a sealed bag or container. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat in a pan with a splash of cold water.
