This dish looked delishious in this picture so thought I’d give it a try.  Was a little dubious of using canned spinach and lentils but did as I was told, only adding potatoes, baby corn and chilli powder for some extra substace and oomph for my hungry family.  Served with pilau rice and it went down a treat.  Will make this again for sure. Very quick and easy to make.
