Method

Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan or casserole dish. Add the onion and fry over a low-medium heat for 10–12 mins or until golden and softened.

Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, chilli powder and ginger and cook for 2 mins.

Stir through the tomatoes, stock, lentils, rice and chickpeas and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 20–25 mins, stirring regularly or until the rice is cooked through.

Serve in 4 bowls and finish topped with a swirl of yogurt, parsley and an extra pinch of chilli, if you like.
