Ingredients
- 1 onion small
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 cup red lentils
- 2 cup vegetable broth
- 13,5 oz chopped tomatoes 400 ml
- 13,5 oz coconut milk 400 ml
- salt and pepper to taste
Garnish (optional)
- chopped cilantro
- lime or lemon juice
- crispy shallots
Instructions
- In a pan, sauté the diced onion, minced ginger, and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
- Add all the spices to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stir a few times to prevent them burning.
- Rinse the lentils thoroughly, then add them to the pan along with the vegetable broth, canned tomatoes, and coconut milk. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, crispy shallots or lemon and serve
Notes
- We like serving the curry with some basmati rice and papadums.
