Egg & Lentil Curry
A community recipe by Mandy_CNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
This is another one of my store-cupboard favourites, inspired by Delia. I love a good curry, and this one is inexpensive but delicious. It has even got my husband eating lentils! This is much better with full-fat coconut milk than the lower fat kind. The lime pickle adds a lovely hot and sour note, but it is not essential if you don't have any. And, as with all curries, the spice mix can be adjusted to your personal taste.

Additional Information
If you want to save on some of the chopping you can whizz the garlic, ginger and chilli in a food processor. Some days I like to lose myself in the rhythm and repetition of chopping, other days I like the convenience and speed of pressing a button. Any leftovers work really well re-heated and folded through scrambled eggs.
