Yellow lentil curry

    1. Start by marinating the chicken thighs. Marinate them with: 2 tbsp curry masala, a pinch of pepper and a splash of olive oil. Leave to rest for 30 minutes.
    2. Boil the 4 eggs, then shock them in cold water and let them cool. Cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions.
    3. Fry the marinated chicken in sunflower oil in a cast-iron pan. Then add the garlic and onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and fry briefly as well.
    4. Then add the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Let the broccoli simmer for 5 minutes until just tender. Finally add the spiced lentils and cook for a moment; season with salt and pepper to taste.
    5. Divide the rice among plates and spoon the curry over it. Cut the egg in half and place it on top of the curry. Serve the naan in two pieces alongside.

This yellow lentil curry is a flavourful and nourishing dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of juicy chicken, creamy coconut milk and aromatic curry paste creates a dish full of taste. The spiced lentils and broccoli make it hearty and nutritious.

Serve the curry with fluffy jasmine rice and warm naan to scoop everything up. A halved boiled egg on top gives the dish a nice finishing touch. Garnish with fresh mint for a bright note that completes the meal.
