  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lentils and cook until tender, about 25 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium fry pan over medium high. Add the onion and saute until it starts to soften, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and bloom 30 seconds. Add the curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to fry the spices for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  3. Add the asparagus and saute until bright green, 2 minutes. Add the kale and continue to saute until wilted, another 2 minutes.
  4. Drain the lentils and add them to the kale mixture. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with lots of coriander and a good squeeze of the lemon juice. Check seasoning - add another pinch of salt if required.
  5. Serve with more coriander and lemon juice!
