Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and bell pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion starts to become tender and translucent. Add the spices, salt, and pepper. Constantly mix for one minute.
- Stir in the coconut milk, diced tomatoes, lentils, and chickpeas. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 35 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to prevent burning. Add a splash of water if needed.
- Turn off the heat and mix in the juice of ½ a lime. Add more if needed.
- Optionally serve with rice.

Notes
- Sauté the spices: Heating spices (like the curry powder) in oil helps to bloom them, bringing out and improving the flavor of the coconut chickpea lentil curry.
- For a thicker curry: Optionally blend a portion of the lentils and mix it back into the lentil chickpea curry for a thicker, creamier consistency.
- To adjust spice: Use mild, medium, hot, or extra hot curry powder, then adjust it further with extra chili or cayenne powder to taste.
- Season to taste: You can add as much or as little of each as you’d like.
