Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 4 garlic minced, cloves
  • 2 inches ginger peeled and grated, fresh
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 crushed tomatoes 28 ounce can
  • 1 cup brown lentils rinsed and drained
  • 1 coconut milk 15 ounce can
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • cilantro for garnish
  • basmati rice for serving, cooked
  • naan bread for serving
  • PLAIN yogurt not Greek yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make your spice blend. Add cumin, curry powder, garam masala, and turmeric to a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until the onions are translucent. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the spice mix and stir until everything is coated.
  3. Add vegetable broth to skillet. Stir it around and scrape up any bits that are cooked onto the bottom of the pan. Add tomatoes and lentils.
  4. Cover and turn the heat to medium low. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until lentils are soft. If the mixture needs more liquid during the simmer, add some more vegetable broth.
  5. Add coconut milk and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over rice with cilantro, yogurt, and naan bread.

Notes

  • Nutrition facts do not include rice or naan.

  • Add cayenne pepper for a little spice!
