Not curry exactly but I've adapted a recipe for spiced lentil and tomato soup from the New Covent Garden Soup book (which is great btw):
Roughly chop and sweat a large white onion in olive oil in a medium saucepan
Add a good helping (at least a teaspoon of each) of freshly crushed coriander seed, cumin seed and turmeric and cook out
Add a few cloves of chopped garlic
Add 300g (ish) of lentils. I tend to use green but red will be fine too
Cover with a litre of vegetable stock and simmer for 15 mins.
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and continue to cook for another 20-30 mins till the lentils are just cooked
Add the juice of one lemon
Blend with a hand whizzer (I like to leave quite a chunky texture)
Serve with a handful of coriander leaf and finely chopped fresh green chilli
A dollop of yoghurt or creme fraiche and wholemeal bread on the side are optional (the coriander and chilli are mandatory)
Leftovers the following day are even better
Delicious, healthy, filling and it costs nothing
And it makes you fart which is always funny

Lentil curry- any pointers? Never tried, but I have a huge bag of red lentils which have been on the shelf for a year or so.
