How to make Chickpea Lentil Curry
Tips from the cook
- Toast the cumin for about 45 seconds until it darkens, as that wakes up its flavour.
- Stir all the time while the garlic, ginger and spices cook, so nothing burns.
- Add the maple syrup and lime juice a little at a time and taste as you go.
- Use less cayenne for a milder curry.
