Method

While the potatoes are baking, put the red lentils in a large saucepan with 500ml water. Bring to the boil, then add the tomato, coconut milk, green chilli and a good pinch each of cardamom, turmeric and coriander, if you have them.
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and quite mushy.
