Curried Sausages

Serves 8

1kg Sausages
2 onions
3 potatoes
200g green beans
3 carrots
2 cups water
1tbsp curry powder
1tbsp cumin
1tbsp ginger
1tsp corriander
4 cloves garlic minced
1 green chilli
1/2 cup red lentils
1 cup SPC Plum sauce (it comes in a jar)

Put sausages into a pot of cold water. Bring them to the boil slowly. Take the pot off the stove immediately when the sausages have come to the boil. Let the sausages cool just enough to handle, remove skins while still soft and hot. Cut the sausages into pieces.
In a large pot brown the onions in a little oil. Add the curry powder and the other spices, cook until fragrant, stirring.
Add the water, lentils, plum sauce and the vegetables. Bring the pot to the boil. Add the sausages and reduce heat so that the pot simmers for 20minutes until the vegetables are soft and the lentils have cooked down. Thicken with a little arrowroot or cornflour slurry, alternatively use gravy powder to thicken.
Serve with rice.
