Instructions
Place all of the paste ingredients into a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.
Heat a large deep pan over a medium to high heat. Pour in your curry paste and fry for 2-4 minutes until most of the moisture is removed and the it has begun to take a little colour.
Now tip in the rest of the curry ingredients - the chopped carrot and swede, the red lentils and finally the litre of vegetable stock. Stir the pan to combine the curry paste with the stock.
Bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer (lid off) for 20 minutes.
Once simmered your veggies and lentils should be nice and soft. Now pour about 1/3 of the mixture back into your food processor or blender and blitz until smooth. (You can also use a hand blender to perform this step if you have one).
Return the blended mixture back to the pan with the rest of the curry. Stir to combine and heat through for a few minutes more.
Remove the pan from the heat and serve the curry immediately with your carbohydrate of choice. I find it works well with jasmine rice, but I also like to enjoy it with cauliflower rice or just on it's own as a thick soup.
