Method:

Rinse lentils thoroughly in cold running water.
Place lentils in a pot with water and add ½ tsp turmeric and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for about 10-15 minutes or until lentils have thickened and water has evaporated. Remove from stove and set aside.
Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté onions, garlic and ginger until soft and translucent.
Add garam masala, chili flakes and remaining turmeric and sauté for a further few minutes.
Add tomatoes, spinach, tomato puree and chutney and season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Add cooked lentils and stir until well combined. Check seasoning.
