Preparation method

Rinse lentils and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

In a bowl, mix together tomato purée and yoghurt. Add garam masala, turmeric, cumin and chilli powder. Stir until creamy.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir in onion, garlic and ginger and cook until onion begins to brown. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted. Gradually stir in yoghurt mixture, then mix in tomatoes and coriander.

Stir in lentils and mixed beans until well combined and heat through, about 5 minutes.
