Step 1

Partially boil the carrots then drain and set aside. Only about 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the carrots are cooking add a couple of tablespoons of water to a large skillet and heat to medium. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. About 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add the red lentils, dairy-free milk, vegetable broth, water, tomatoes, partially cooked carrots, garbanzo beans, garam masala ( This is a homemade recipe that is so easy to make and it will help you save money too), curry powder and salt. Stir well.

Step 4

Bring to a quick boil and then turn down and simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Every once in a while, stir to keep the beans and lentils from sticking.

Step 6

At the end of 20 minutes check to see if the lentils are done. If not, cook a very few more minutes.

Step 7

Taste and check for more salt or a dash of pepper but I don't think you will need any.
