When the tomatoes are well cooked, add your potatoes. Cook this for 5 mins.

Add the preboiled beef, peas and carrots and cook for a further 5 mins.

2) Beef potato curry

This could also be called Irish stew. It’s an Irish traditional curry.

They make it using lamb, mutton or beef.

Growing up, this was a staple in our household and I’ve clearly carried on with the tradition.

Coconut milk lentils curry

Heeey loves

Trust y’all have been well❤️

This week, I’m making a super simple meal

Coconut milk lentils curry

Do y’all like lentils? I only know like 3 outta 10 people who do haha. Some of the reasons being it’s an awkward cereal with a “kastrange taste” however, y’all can make lentils amazing using different recipes.

This is one of them; using coconut milk, I’ll share another one soon.

I loooove lentils; anyone who knows me well can attest to this. I find them extremely easy to cook and they go well with almost everything; ugali, rice, chapo even mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

*Preboiled lentils

*Coconut milk

*Tomatoes

*Onions

*Capsicum

*Dhania

*Preferred spices

Method

Fry onions in a cooking pot until they’re translucent. Add your tomatoes, let them cook to your liking(I prefer mine well cooked to a paste)

I added the spices when adding the tomatoes, I used curry powder, garam masala and dhana jeera.

Add some salt as well.

After the tomatoes are cooked, you can add your carrots. I didn’t.

I added the preboiled lentils and some water and let them cook for a few minutes.

I added the coconut milk and capsicum then let it simmer for some minutes.

The food is ready😋

Added dhania right before serving.

We had them with tumeric fried rice

This was the best lentils meal I’ve ever had tbh, I wonder why I didn’t try this before 🤔

‘Dine with me’ guest

I really feel like I shouldn’t add a guest this week coz we had this for lunch at home😂 the fam really really loved the meal though.

So, something special for this week lol

The first person to answer this question either via IG DM or what’sapp gets BBQ wings delivered to them next week on Monday.

Which spice do you think is my best spice?

That’s it for this week loves❤️

Stay safe❤️
