Chicken Balti with Mango

Chicken Balti with Mango
Ingredients
75g Red Lentils
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Leek (Finely Chopped)
2 Chillies (Finely Chopped)
4 Curry Leaves
1 Tablespoon Mustard Seeds
1 Mango (Peeled, Stoned and Cubed)
2 Tomatoes (Chopped)
1/2 Teaspoon Chilli Powder
1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
450g Chicken Breast
2 Tablespoon Fresh Coriander (Chopped)
Method
1) Place the lentils in a saucepan and add enough water to barely cover them. Bring to the boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes, until they are soft but not mushy. Drain well and set aside.
2) Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the leek, chillies, curry leaves and mustard seeds, and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
3) Add the mango, tomatoes, chilli powder, ground coriander and chicken. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4) Add the cooked lentils and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5) Garnish with fresh coriander before serving with rice or naan bread.
