Noodle curry

I cannot quite remember what exactly went into this curry, but it was really nice. On the first night we had the chard/lentils/sauce separate, but it is nicer with everything mixed.

Here is my attempt to recover the recipe:

Serves 4:

4 packs thin or medium egg noodles
1 TBSP groundnut oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
150ml single cream
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
1 TBSP coriander, chopped
150g green lentils, cooked and drained
500g chard, shredded, parboiled and drained
Salt & pepper
Cashew nuts

1. Heat the groundnut oil in a nonstick saucepan. Add the onion and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for another minute.
2. Add the cream and spices. Mix well. Add the lentils and chard. Season to taste and heat through.
3. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to packet instructions and roast the cashew nuts under the grill.
4. Serve the noodles into 4 warm bowls, spoon the lentil & chard mixture on top. Sprinkle with the cashews.
