Thick red lentil coconut curry with irregular spinach and tomato texture — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Red lentils collapse quickly, which makes them a natural thickener. Rinse them well, toast the spices and hold the spinach until the end so the pot keeps some colour and texture.

Simmer the lentils

Add lentils, tomato, coconut milk and stock. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 24 minutes, stirring often.
