Ingredients:
1 cup of Black Gram Lentils
1/2 of kidney beans
Tomato paste 4 tablespoons
Chopped tomatoes 1/2 can
olive oil for frying
ginger small fresh pieces grated
salt for seasoning
coriander chopped small handful
garlic 3 cloves chopped
onion chopped
chilli powder to taste, 2 teaspoons
cloves 3
cumin 2 teaspoons
cardamom 4, break the shells slightly with the edge of a knife
fennel seeds 1 teaspoon
turmeric powder 2 teaspoons
cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon
1 cup of rice
1/2 pack of quorn chicken
1 pepper
cheese grated
tortilla wraps
Feeds 4
Method
1. Soak the lentils the night before and boil in water. Keep on a low boil for a few hours until the lentils are completely soft. Once cooked put them to one side. Boil the rice in water until soft. Drain and put to one side.
2. In some olive oil fry an onion and add the garlic, ginger, chilli powder, cloves, cumin, cardamom, fennel, turmeric, cinnamon to the onions. Fry for a few minutes.
3. Add the tomato paste and tin and cook for about 10 minutes on a high heat or until the tomatoes thicken and the oil rises to the top.
4. Add the pepper, quorn chicken pieces and half a tin of kidney beans to the mixture. Once the chicken is cooked, add the lentils and rice to the mixture.
5. Cook the mixture for about 15 mintues of a low heat so the flavours can soak in. Add the coriander and salt to taste.
6. Warm the wraps and load them with the mixture and add some grated cheese. I also add some salsa and sour cream. Wrap the tortilla up in some kitchen foil, it makes it easier to eat.
You can have it with salad, chips or garlic bread. If you do not want the lentils in it, then you can make the mixture on its own with just the quorn. I sometimes make the mixture on its own, with some chips.
Hope you enjoy!
