1/2 cup red lentils 鈥?washed


1 鈥?1/2 cups of water


1/2 tsp salt





2 chicken breasts 鈥?diced


1 medium red onion chopped

1 tsp garam masala


1 tsp ground cumin


1 tbsp white wine vinegar


2 tsp sugar


Chopped coriander





Method





Put the lentils in a sauce pan and add the water and salt. Bring to boil then simmer until cooked, skimming off any scum that appears. Set aside.





Heat a frying pan to a high heat then add the oil. Add the cumin seeds and fry until they change colour.





Add the onions and cook until they are caramelising.





Add the chicken, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, cumin and garlic.
