Lentil curry, a super delicious and comforting vegan recipe. It's so nutritious and it's made with simple, natural, and inexpensive ingredients.

Lentil Curry

cup dried lentils (400 g)

tbsp oil of your choice, I used coconut oil

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

1/2 onion, chopped

ginger root

flakes,

2 15-ounce (425 g) can chopped tomatoes

coconut milk

3–4 tbsp sugar, I used brown sugar

tbsp turmeric powder

tbsp curry powder

tbsp ground cumin

salt

tsp ground black pepper

cup frozen peas (240 g), optional

cilantro (optional), chopped

Cook the lentils according to package directions. I didn&#8217;t add any salt.

Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the garlic, onion, and ginger with the cayenne flakes over medium-high heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, sugar, turmeric powder, curry powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper, stir and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drain and rinse the lentils and add them to the skillet. Add also the frozen peas and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Serve immediately with some basmati or cauliflower rice and some chopped fresh cilantro on top (optional).

Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-7 days or in the freezer for about 3 months.

Cooked the lentils in a pressure cooker with a little bit of oil and salt separately first. 
This curry is very flavorful and creamy! I put on 2 teaspoons of sugar instead of tablespoons and use fresh tomatoes that I unpeeled. I didn't want something too sweet.

Super nice!!

So good! 
I made with jasmine rice and mixed in desiccated coconut for something different and added broccoli instead of peas. My fam of 5 loved it.

Thanks

Very tasty and easy to make. Will be making it again.

Before this recipe I never saw myself eating lentils much. But this has totally changed my view on them

Absolutely delicious. Paired it with Jasmine rice and added some kale. Will definitely make this again.

Delicious!! I just made this a few days ago. The sugar content seemed weird, but you were right! I added a little at a time and it cut the bitterness. I probably ended up using 2 tbsp brown sugar. Also, just one cup of peas. I used french lentils for more texture. 

Thank you so much!!!

Have made this twice. My husband loves it and it was a big hit at the church potluck. I think it’s just ok. Everyone agrees that it is filling and satisfying. The recipe makes A LOT.
