Method

Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear drain.
Combine the lentils, stock, tomatoes, bay leaves, garlic, curry paste, carrot, celery and potato in a 4.5 litre slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Season to taste.
Divide into bowls. Top with the Greek yogurt and sprinkle with the black pepper and coriander.
