Vegan Lentil Curry

Ingredients

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Onion

1 medium, diced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Fresh ginger

1 inch piece, grated

Curry powder

2 tablespoons

Turmeric

1 teaspoon

Red lentils

1 cup, rinsed

Coconut milk

1 can (13.5 oz)

Vegetable broth

2 cups

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Fresh cilantro

for garnish

Lime

1, juiced (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute, releasing their fragrant aromas.
4. Add the rinsed red lentils to the pot, followed by the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir to combine all ingredients.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra zing, you can add freshly squeezed lime juice at this point.
7. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside warm naan bread.
