Coming in with my Grubski debut
  I present a spicy vegetarian stew
  A decidedly delicious merging of matter
  That will get you full, but not fatter

This stew is made up of spicy root vegetables and lentils. It's the first time I've made it, and stew in general.

-

1. Prepare garlic, onion, carrot, parsnip, and potato. Preferably not using a knife as shit as mine, and thus doing a much better job.

2. Fire up the hob and get that onion and garlic softening.

3. This dish requires curry powder. I made my own. I mixed: 2 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp Garam Masala, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cayenne/ chilli powder, and a sprinkling of salt/pepper.

4. After a few minutes, toss in the carrot, parsnip, and potato, Cook for 8 minutes or so until golden. Whilst this is amalgamating, start preparing a vegetable stock.

5. Add your stock, and 1-2 tablespoons of your curry powder. Bring it to the boil and add lentils, along with any desired seasoning. Cover and let simmer. Give it a stir every so often as the lentils will sink and stick to the bottom of the pan.

6. Once it's been bubbling away for 20 minutes, remove the lid and allow it to reduce a bit if needs be.

7. Serve precariously close to the edge of the table for added flavour.

This was legitimately up there with the nicest things I've single-handedly cooked. The potatoes and lentils absorbed all those lovely herbs and spices, allowing the flavour to permeate throughout the entire dish. A lovely Autumnal mouth hug. It just fitted within with my postgrad food budget of £5 a day. It could have been cheaper, but I was out of all the prerequisite vegetables. I would highly recommend, and I'll definitely be cooking it again.
