Instructions

  1. Place the lentils in the bottom of a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Add the onions, garlic, cauliflower, ginger, curry paste, salt, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cayenne, and cardamom, then stir to combine.
  2. Pour the tomato puree over the top of the cauliflower and lentils. Refill the tomato puree can halfway with water, then pour it over the top of the slow cooker ingredients so that they are covered with liquid.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours, until the lentils are soft.
  4. Just before serving, stir in the coconut milk. Serve over brown rice, quinoa, or farro, topped with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • TO STORE: Place leftover curry in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • TO REHEAT: Gently rewarm leftovers in a Dutch oven on the stove over medium-low heat. You can also reheat this recipe in the microwave.
  • TO FREEZE: Store curry in an airtight freezer-safe storage container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • The spices with an asterisk can be replaced with 1 1/2 teaspoons of garam masala, a spice blend that can be found in most grocery stores and specialty food or spice shops. If you can't find garam masala, the spices I suggested in the recipe (which are more easily available), taste wonderful.
