Spiced Lentil and Bean Casserole and Butter Chicken Curry Recipes

This is the first Foodies Monday Blog Post, I thought it might be a good idea to also share my recipes with you for what I share on my Foodies Monday Posts.

A lot of what I make  I don't actually follow any specific recipe as I generally just go off of instinct so will do my best with measurements as  I can.

Here we go.

1 and a half cup Lentils

1 and a half cup Beans of your choosing

1 and a half cup mix peas corn and capsicum frozen mix

Method:

Fill pot with approx 2 litres of water and pour in the lentils and beans and cook until soft.

Add in diced onion, fennel stalks and frozen pea, corn and capsicum mix.

Add in spices to taste I did roughly a teaspoon each.

You can serve on a bed of cooked rice or cous cous or as is with a slice of chunky toasted sourdough.

3 carrots chopped
