Curried Lentil Loaf

Submitted by ballarat

"Easy to prepare using the grater attachment on our food processor. Makes two loaves - eat one and freeze the other. Can be eaten cold the next day with salad. Any combination of suitable vegetables can be used but I would always make sure I used potato and at least one of pumpkin, carrot or sweet potato. Just play with the combinations to make up the measured cup amounts."
