Season with salt and pepper, turmeric, ginger, smoked paprika, ground cumin and cinnamon, stirring it all in. Add a splash of water to get the flavours mingling.

Add in the green and red lentils and then pour vegetable broth into the pot to cook them in, along with the rest of your water. Mix in tomato paste and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Once the water and broth have reduced and the lentils are becoming fluffy, add in coconut milk, lemon juice and your spinach, allowing it to wilt.

Serve up, warm and steaming, with a little freshly chopped cilantro on top!
