  2. When the lentils are ready - or about 5 mins before, add the tomatoes to the pan and stir through. Take the lentils off the heat when ready. (You can also add spinach at this point- stirring it through so it wilts.)
  3. Heat the ghee or oil in a pan on a low- medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring regularly until soft.
  4. When the onion/ garlic are soft, stir them (and any ghee in the pan) into the lentils.
  5. Season. Serve and garnish with spring onions and coriander. Enjoy 😋
