Method

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onions and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes, until golden brown.

2. Stir in the curry powder and tomatoes and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, until the butter rises to the surface. The mixture should resemble a thick dark red paste.

3. Add the mixed pulses and ginger, season with salt, and stir well, mashing a few beans as you stir. Cook for 3-5 more minutes.

4. Pour in 125ml hot water and cook over a gentle heat for another 5 minutes.

5. Scatter over the chopped coriander and serve with plain rice, pitta bread or a jacket potato. Accompany with a green salad.
