Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

8 portions free-range chicken thighs and drumsticks
2 T sunflower oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 x 50 g korma curry paste
1 x 400 ml coconut milk
1 x 400 g lentils, drained and rinsed
