Rinse the lentils in a sieve under cold running water.

Place in a large saucepan with the measured water and bring to the boil.

Simmer for 20–25 minutes until the lentils are cooked and soft.

Drain the lentils.

Steam the sweet potato pieces for 20–30 minutes until very soft, so they can be mashed easily.

Prepare the yoghurt chutney while the lentils and sweet potato are cooking.

Place the yoghurt in a large bowl.

Heat the rapeseed oil and mustard seeds in a very small saucepan on a low heat.

Add the green chilli, when the mustard seeds pop.

Remove from the heat and pour into the yoghurt.

Add the salt and red chilli powder, and mix together well.

When the sweet potato is cooked, drain and place in a small mixing bowl.

Mash until smooth. Then add the salt, paprika and red onion. Mix well.

Layer into your jars once everything is ready. Spoon around 2 tablespoons of mashed sweet potato, a spoonful of yoghurt chutney and a spoonful of Coriander Chutney and/or Red Pepper Chutney into each jar. Add a sprinkle of Maple Chillied Seeds, then a tablespoon of lentils and a few pieces of avocado.

Add the garnishings and top with another sprinkle of Maple Chillied Seeds. You can repeat with more layers if there is space.

FOR THE MAPLE CHILLIED SEEDS:

Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a medium–low heat, then add all the seeds and the cashews.

Sprinkle the chilli flakes, paprika and salt over the top and add the maple syrup.

Mix together, then cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly.

Remove from the heat and leave to cool. The seeds and nuts will become crispy once cooled. This will keep for 10–14 days if stored in an airtight container.

FOR THE CORIANDER CHUTNEY:

Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until you have a thick, smooth liquid. This will keep for 3–4 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.

FOR THE RED PEPPER CHUTNEY:

Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This will keep for 3–4 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.
