Shop these in one order
Mello puts these ingredients on one shopping list with the rest of your week, and anything two recipes share is added together. The list then goes to Sainsbury's in the UK or Careem Quik in the UAE.
Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →- Step 1
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
- Step 2
Cook the basmati rice according to packet instructions.
- Step 3
Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
- Step 4
Cut the broccoli into small florets. Deseed and slice the red pepper. Cut the broccoli stalks into small pieces if desired.
- Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Step 6
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red curry paste. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Step 7
Add the rinsed red lentils, coconut milk, and 150ml water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 8
Add the broccoli florets, red pepper slices, and any chopped broccoli stalk pieces to the pan. Stir well. Cover and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the lentils are cooked through. If the curry becomes too thick, add a little more water.
