1. Heat oil in a large saucepan or deep skillet set over medium heat; cook onion, garlic and ginger for 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in curry powder, cumin, salt and cayenne; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
2. Pick over lentils, rinse in a sieve and drain. Add to pan with water and tomato paste; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and gently boil, uncovered, until lentils fall apart, about 10 minutes.
3. Add potato; cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Stir in tofu; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in raisins and almonds. Taste for salt and add more if needed. Serve over rice and sprinkle with coriander

I had this curry for tea this evening. It was very tasty and so simple to make. I omitted the tofu and added extra potato instead.
