Step:

  1. Fry the onion in the oil until soft then add ginger and garlic. Then add the spices for 2 mins and then add the flour and cook for a few mins. Then stir in the chicken stock, coconut milk, peanut butter and dedicated coconut. Season with salt and pepper if needed - taste as you go. Once seasoned and tasting rich and fragrant, add the lentils and raw diced chicken thigh and turn on a simmer for a few hours with a lid on. Take the lid off to thicken the sauce is you need to. Delicious!!
