In a blender, add 1 tablespoon of oil with onion, chilli, garlic, ginger, coriander stalks and water. Blend into a smooth paste and set aside.

Step 3:
In a large, heavy-based pot on a medium-high heat, add remaining oil and sweat off pumpkin until slightly cooked on the outside (around 5 minutes), stirring frequently as not to burn.
Step 4:
Add lentils, blended mix, spice mix and curry powder, and mix thoroughly.
Step 5:
Add stock and bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.

Break pumpkin pieces up with the back of a wooden spoon. Season to taste if needed.
