  3. Add the tomatoes, turmeric and mung beans and cook for two minutes. Be careful not to mash it up too much as you stir.

  4. Add the salt, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon powder and cook for a further two minutes.

  5. Throw in the chopped coriander, mix again and serve with hot, buttery chapattis and plain yogurt.
