Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentils dry
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 onion finely chopped, small
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 3/4 teaspoon Turmeric ground
- 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 14 ounces
- 2 1/3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can coconut milk full-fat, 13.5 ounces
- salt to taste
- cilantro chopped, for garnish, fresh
- rice for serving, cooked, or naan bread
Instructions
- Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant.
- Stir in turmeric, curry powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, or until spices are well combined and aromatic.
- Add the rinsed lentils, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and coconut milk to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until lentils are tender and the curry has thickened. Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent lentils from sticking to the pot.
- Season with salt to taste. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. Serve with cooked rice or naan bread.
