### 🔀 Instructions

&emsp;

-   Place the lentils in a large bowl of water and set to one side.  Chop the ingredients and get your spices ready!

&emsp;
    
-   Heat the oil in large pot over a medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds.

&emsp;
    
-   When the mustard seeds start to pop, add in the turmeric, cumin, curry powder and bay leaves. Stir for a couple of minutes until the spices become fragrant.

&emsp;
    
-   Add in the onion, ginger, garlic and chili.  Stir so that the spice coats the onions and cook for 5 minutes until the onions start to soften.

&emsp;
    
-   Drain the lentils, and add in to the pot.  Add the coconut milk, lime juice and water and mix well.  Pop a lid on for 15 minutes

&emsp;
    
-   After 15 minutes, take the lid off and give a good stir, at this point you can add any added vegetables that you wish.  Cook the dish for another 10 or so minutes until excess liquid has cooked off

&emsp;
    
-   At this point, you could stir in some spinach or herbs - parsley and coriander work really well!
