Ingredients
Yellow Curry Lentils & Halloumi
- 1 1/2 cups dry green lentils uncooked
- 1 cup dry brown or white rice uncooked
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 yellow onion finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon sea salt to taste
- 1 14-ounce can full fat coconut milk, + more for serving*
- 5 ounces haloumi chopped into ¼ to ½-inch cubes
For Serving:
- Cooked basmati rice
- fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Cook the lentils and rice according to the instructions on the packages.
- While the lentils are cooking, heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and all of the spices and salt. Cook an additional 5 to 8 minutes, until onion is cooked through.
- Add the coconut milk and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat slightly but maintain a gentle boil for 10 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir the cooked lentils into the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes. For a thinner sauce, add more coconut milk until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
- Add the cubed halloumi and cook just until halloumi is hot, about 2 minutes.
- Taste the lentil curry and add additional sea salt or spices to taste.
- Serve over cooked brown rice or basmati rice with freshly chopped cilantro.
Notes
- *Use two cans of full-fat coconut milk for more sauce.
- You can replace all of the individual spices with 3 tablespoons of yellow curry powder if you have it on hand.
