Quick lentil curry

Yesterday I had some soup left over from the day before and I wanted to prepare a quick dish to go with it. So I improvised this lentil curry which tasted real good. Forgot to take a pic though.

split red lentils
1 potato, peeled and chopped
green peas (I used frozen)
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
olive oil
chopped parsley

Fry onion and garlic in oil. Rinse lentils in water and add them together with the potato. Add curry powder and a lot of salt. Cook for 1-2 min. Add enough boiling water to cover the ingredients well. Bring to the boil, add the peas and wait till it boils again. Then lower the heat and let the dish simmer until it's cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed. This takes about 20 min. Add parsley in the last minutes of cooking.

Note: afterwards I thought that it could be nice to add some dried raisins, grated coconut and perhaps a bit of chilli. Perhaps in that case it's better to use sunflower oil in stead of olive oil. You could also substitute the parsley for coriander leaves.
