Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.

Step 2

Place the lentils and grated apple in a deep roasting pan.

Step 3

In a jug, whisk together the coconut milk, curry paste, chilli flakes and grated ginger. Pour the mix over the lentils and apple.

Step 4

Loosely cover the roasting pan with foil, then bake in the oven for 40–45 minutes until the lentils have softened.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and discard the foil. Pour in 100ml (scant ½ cup) hot water and stir through until the lentils have broken down further, then season to taste with salt.

Step 6

When ready to serve, divide between plates, top with the coconut yogurt, lime juice and coriander, then sprinkle with a few more dried chilli flakes, if you like.
