This Creamy Red Lentil Curry is one of my favorite dishes because it’s super flavorful, nutritious, protein-packed, and you can make it in a blink of an eye.

Recipe: Creamy Red Lentil Curry

organic Red Lentils

coconut milk

spring onions

garlic

red bell pepper

yellow bell pepper

coconut oil

yellow vegan thai curry Paste

turmeric

1 inch ground fresh ginger (or 1 tbsp ground ginger powder)

Sea Salt

coriander Seeds

Cilantro Leaves

Jasmine Rice (recipe)

Boil rice

If having rice with your lentils, put it to boil with three cups of water and 1 tsp of salt. It will take 10-15 minutes and be ready when your lentils are.

Chop

Chop your garlic, spring onions and bell peppers in massive cuts. Remember that reducing your vegetables’ surface exposure to the heat keeps more of their nutrients. Feel free to add any other leftover veggies you have, such as broccoli or cauliflower stems.

Stir-fry

In a pan, stir-fry your veggies with the coconut oil for 3 minutes and add the yellow curry paste.

Add the coconut milk, curry paste and all the spices. Let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes.

Add the lentils along with 4 cups of water, stir twice during the 10 minutes it will take to be ready.

Adjust

Adjust the flavor. You migh choose to add some curry or salt.

Serve with Jasmine Rice
