For the lentils

Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the lentils, cook for 20-25 or until soft.

For the chicken

While the lentils are boiling add the vegetable oil, tandoori paste, and the chopped chicken thighs into a small bowl and mix until the chicken is well coated. Heat some oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and fry for a minute, then add the garlic for a further minute. Throw in the tandoori chicken and cook for 2 minutes on either sides or until the chicken has browned. Add in the diced tomatoes and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Once the lentils are cooked, add them into the tandoori chicken and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

To serve

Divide the tandoori chicken and lentils between bowls and serve with a good amount of freshly chopped coriander, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
