Method 

1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery into the pan, cooking and stirring it for 1-2 minutes, then add the mince and cook that, breaking up any large pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook the mince for 4 minutes before adding the spice mix, cumin and other seasonings. 

2. Stir in the lentils and tomato before adding 375ml (1 1/2 cups) of water and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are cooked and the mixture has thickened. 

3. Stir through the capsicum and beans, cooking them for 1-2 minutes. Then stir through half of the coriander and half of the chilli before dividing the chilli among your serving bowls. Now it's time to enjoy all your hard work! Scatter the bowls with the remaining coriander and chilli if you wish and serve with yoghurt if you want to. Eat up!
