So called because of the colours of vegetables used to make this dish, no fruit in sight. This is a fantastically simple recipe and it’s delightful cold in tomorrow’s lunch boxes. The lentils and sweet potato make for a creamy texture, without the addition of any actual cream. It’s a cheap dish too and one that I’ve used for a long time to fill the hungry gap before pay day. I like tikka flavour the best, but I’m sure any curry paste would be just as tasty.

For the most part I don’t eat meat. Occasionally I eat chicken, turkey, or fish. I haven’t eaten red meat or pork in 13 years. You probably couldn’t tell that if you have read some of my other recipes. My intention when I started posting recipes was to share the vegetarian dishes I eat. The only reason I can think of why I haven’t done that is because most of the recipes I have shared so far have been dishes that my kids or other loved ones requested that I used to make (still make just altered to meatless)  or that have a story behind them.

• 2 to 3 Cloves of Garlic
• 1/2 of a chopped Onion
• 1/2 to 1 chopped Green…
