Arahan

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the onion along with a small pinch of sea salt and cook for about 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent.Add the garlic, chilli pepper flakes and ginger, stir well and cook for a minute.Next add the spices, again stir well and cook for just a minute. Be careful not to burn the spices, as soon smell the spices they are done.

Now add the green bell pepper, and stir into the spices.Next, pour in the chopped tomatoes, the vegetable stock, lemon juice, add the chickpeas and lentils. Add the salt and pepper then stir well.

Bring the pan to the boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer then cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid.Cook for about 15 minutes stirring often. Check the seasoning halfway through cooking.If the sauce is looking too dry add some water to it and continue simmering.Once the lentils are cooked and the sauce has thickened add the spinach to the pan, put the lid back on for about two minutes. Take the lid off, then stir in the wilted spinach.

Serve immediately with rice, naan, some coriander (cilantro) leaves.
