Food Tip |
In a large pot, heat oil. Fry onion & garlic for a couple of
minutes. Add potatoes, carrots & bell pepper & continue to fry for a
few more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add spices & stir fry for a
couple of seconds. Add lentils & tomato paste , stir quickly & add
water. Cover, raise heat & bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer
gently for 30 minutes. Add salt & pepper. Check the water levels &
lentil consistency. Cook for another 15 minutes if lentils are not
cooked. Remove from heat & let cool slightly. The mixture should be
moist but not swimming in water.
Roll out the pastry & line a 9" pie plate. Add the filling & cover
with remaining pastry. Bake at 400F/200C for 30 to 40 minutes until
the pastry is browned. Serve with chutney, chili sauce & a salad.
Good cold.
