Method:
Break up the Middlecut into chunks in their sauce with a fork. Place the lentils into a small saucepan with cold water to cover. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside for an hour to soak. Drain well and rinse with cold water.

Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water until soft. Drain well.

Fry the onion, garlic and pepper in a little oil in a medium saucepan until soft. Remove from the heat and add the chutney and tomato. Add the Middlecut, lentils and potatoes, season with salt and pepper and mix everything together gently. Cover and heat through.

Tip the breyani into a serving bowl, garnish with fresh coriander and serve with rice and chutney.
