Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and cook the onions for 10 mins, stirring frequently until softened and starting to turn golden. Add the carrot and celery and sweat until softened. About 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the grated ginger, garlic and chilli, and cook for a minute more. Add the curry powder and cumin seeds, stir well, then pour in the hot vegetable stock and tomato passata and stir again.
Step 3
Tip in the lentils and rice, mix well and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover and cook for a further 20 mins until the lentils and rice are tender and the vegetables are soft.
Step 4
Add in the shredded chicken or turkey and cook for a further 5 minutes until hot. Remove from the heat, stir in the coriander and lemon juice, and ladle into bowls.
