Ingredients
- 1 tbs sunflower oil
- 1 onion, chopped finely
- 1½ tbs garam masala spice mix
- 350 g (12 oz) sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 100 g (3½ oz) red lentils, rinsed well

National Vegetarian Week runs from May 10-16, so we’re marking the occasion with this tasty veggie eggy curry recipe. We bet meat-eaters will be coming back for seconds!
Method:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add onion and cook over a medium heat until softened. Add the garam masala, and cook for a further minute. Stir in the sweet potato, lentils and tomatoes. Fill the tomato can full of water, swirl and add to the pan.
- Cover loosely and cook over a medium heat for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding a splash more water if it becomes too thick.
- Meanwhile, place the eggs in a pan of hot water, bring to the boil and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and put in very cold water before peeling. Roll cooled eggs in the chilli and coriander, season with pepper and set aside.
- Spoon the curry into bowls, halve the eggs and place on top.
