Method:

Rinse the lentils and soak in cold water
for 30 minutes.
Drain the water, then
place the lentils in a saucepan.
Cover
with water and season with salt. Boil until
soft, then rinse with cold water.
Set aside.
Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-
based saucepan.
Add the onion and
sauté until soft.
Add the spice mix and stir
for a minute.
Reduce the heat slightly and
add the garlic, ginger and chillies.
Stir for
a minute, then add the tomato purée and
sauté for another two minutes.
Add the sugar and stir for a few more
minutes, then add the lemon juice and
three-quarters of the coconut milk.
Stir
over a low heat, taking care not to let
the mixture boil.
Remove from the heat
as soon as oil begins to appear on
the surface of the sauce.
Remove the
whole spices. Blend the sauce in a food
processor until smooth, then add the
remaining coconut milk.
Boil the gnocchi until they rise to the
surface of the water.
 Remove from the
saucepan with a slotted spoon and
drizzle with a little olive oil.
Mix the spinach, piquanté peppers and
coriander in a large bowl.
Reheat the sauce and add the lentils.

Add the gnocchi and heat through, then
add the spinach mixture. Stir gently until
the spinach wilts. Serve immediately.
