    Love me some Lentils. Really getting into the beans and lentils lately! Price of meat certainly helps. I had a crack at a coconut chickpea curry. Pride forced me to finish the plate, but the Mrs was diplomatic in her “Yeahhhhhh look I appreciate the effort and I’m sure you’ll get it right next time! but… i couldn’t finish it”

      Try this one

      Since starting to shop at my local asian grocer, my curry game has lifted. The thai and malaysian curry bases are heavens above anything from Colesworth.

      Beans and coconut rice are good too.

        That looks really good. I’d do things a little bit differently though. I wouldn’t put the sugar or the salt in. I’d stir the spices in after the capsicum with the garlic and some ginger. Season at the end.

          Funnily enough, I only put sugar and salt at the end after I’ve checked the flavour. This one didn’t need the sugar at all, but some might like it a bit sweeter.

        the asian grocers out my way are really limited. There is like 5 indian ones, but thats it. I’m desperate for a good Korean one, super stoked to try tteokbokki!

          If you’re in the city have a dip into one there (time permitted of course). There’s a few on Elizabeth St. There’s one that’s not bad in Melb Central (next to the coles).

          I know they’ve got heaps of Chinese, Japanese and Korean stuff. Maybe not so much Thai and Malay and such.
