I love a nice curry and aside from the obvious Italian food cravings (being half Italian) this is the food I crave the most. I grew up eating curry as my Mum’s side of the family is of Indian heritage and whilst I’ll never be able to cook them as well as my Mum and Grandma, I do my best 🙂

This is a delicious chicken, lentil and spinach curry – hope you like it 🙂

Ingredients (for 4 people)

• Chopped onion – 1 whole
• Chopped garlic – 1 clove
• Chopped ginger or ginger seasoning – 1 tsp.

• Tandoori spice – 1 tbsp.
• Hot chilli powder – 1 tsp.
• Paprika – 1 tsp.
• Dried coriander – 1 tbsp.
• Chopped tomatoes – 1 can
• Coconut cream – 1 carton / tin (I prefer the thickness of the cream rather than coconut milk)!

1. Heat the coconut oil in a wok or frying pan
