Method
Place the lentils in a saucepan and add enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the finely sliced leek, chilli, curry leaves and mustard seeds and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes.
Add the diced mango and tomatoes, ground coriander and chicken and fry for 8 - 10 minutes.
Add the cooked lentils and cook for a further 2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with fresh coriander before serving. Basmati rice or naan bread would be good accompaniments.
