The dish made from Laila Red Split Lentils and served alongside Laila Basmati Rice is packed with flavours and perfect for warming you up during the cold month of January. The recipe and method is in the video.

Method

  1. Start preparing Laila Red Split Lentils by heating in water. Once the water has reduced, stir the mixture but do not overcook.
  2. Cut sweet potatoes and lay them out on a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Add spices and oil and cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 180C. Turn the potatoes after 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare vegetables and fry in oil lightly for 2-3 minutes. Then add and mix all the spices.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and cook for another 5 minutes. Finally add your cooked lentils then leave the dish aside.
  5. Prepare Laila Basmati Rice combining rice and water. Cook for around 20 minutes or until rice is fluffy.
  6. Now you can prepare your other bowl items. We used fried cherry tomatoes, red cabbage, and parsley.
  7. Assemble your bowl and enjoy warm.
