Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add garam masala and next 4 ingredients; stir 1 minute.
Add lentils; stir until coated.

Discard bay leaves and puree the soup with a hand blender.
stir in chicken meat, coconut mild and lemon juice.
Season to taste with salt & pepper.

	dried yeast
1 teaspoon	runny honey
45 g	ghee , or unsalted butter
250 g	strong white bread flour , plus extra for dusting
	sea salt
3 heaped tablespoons	low-fat natural yoghurt
1 tablespoon	nigella seeds

In a bowl, combine the yeast, honey and 125ml of lukewarm water, then set aside for 5 minutes, or until starting to bubble.
Melt the ghee or butter in a small pan over a low heat. Meanwhile, combine the flour and ½ tablespoon of salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in 1 tablespoon of the melted ghee, the yoghurt, and yeast mixture and beat the wet ingredients together with a fork. Gradually start incorporating the flour from the sides until it starts to form a rough dough, then bring it together with your hands – it should be soft and sticky, so add a splash more water, if you think it needs it.
Knead the dough on a flour-dusted surface for around 5 minutes, or until smooth, then place into a lightly floured bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, knock back the dough with your fist, then divide into 6 balls. Roll each portion into an oval shape, roughly 1½cm thick.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add a naan bread and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through, turning halfway. Brush with a little of the remaining ghee, sprinkle over a few nigella seeds and a small pinch of salt. Keep warm in the oven while you make the remaining breads. Serve with your favourite curry.
