1./ Heat a little oil in a saucepan on a high heat. Add the cumin seeds and turn down the heat when they begin to pop. Add the onion and cook until softened.
2./ Add the spices and cook for 2-3 mins, then add the lentils, stock and bring to the boil. Cook until the lentils are very soft.
3./ Add the passata and take off the heat when the micture begin to boil. Ladle the mixture into a blender and whizz until smooth. Heat the mixture through and season to taste. I usually can't be bothered to pass it through a sieve!
This recipe was so easy to make and absolutely yummy. I didn't have any Gram Masala so I used Shwartz Mild Curry Powder instead. Beleive me, if I can do it, anybody can.
