- Heat sunflower oil in a large frying pan, then fry the red onion over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes until starting to soften.
- Add the garlic and ginger, then fry for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and fry for 3 minutes, then add the lentils, water and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the chicken thighs. Cover and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
