No doubt, this is one very yummy dish! I made it numerous times. It's amaizing how such a simple dish can be so good! 


Ingredients:
500 gr of red lentils
300 gr of chicken breast

1 smaller onion
3-5 tbsp of oil
1-2 tsp of curry powder
Salt

Direction:

Chop finely the onions to small dices.
Cut the meat into small cubes. (approximately 1cm)
Heat the oil and add diced onions. 
Cook on medium heat until glasses.
Add curry powder and keep stirring for a minute so it won't stick to the bottom.
Add cubed chicken breasts and cook around 5 minutes, until it changes color. Stir constantly, otherwise it will stick. If it starts sticking anyways, add a little bit of water.
Add prewashed red lentils. Mix everything and cover with water. Once the water warms, add salt to taste.

Cook for around 30 - 40 minutes on medium heat. Lentils will soak the water by time, so you should add more water to it. If you want a thicker meal, add less water.

There is no need to additional thickening, it will come to right consistensy once the water evaporates. 





Enjoy your healthy & delicous lunch!
