Ingredients Needed:

• 50g butter
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1.5 tbsp ginger
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup dried lentils
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 400g canned tomato
• 750 ml water

How To Make Lentil Curry Recipe?

1. Saute the Onion: Melt butter (or oil) in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 10 minutes until the onion is soft and golden.
2. Cook the Spices: Increase the heat, add curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir for 1.5 minutes.
3. Add the Other Ingredients: Stir in lentils, coconut milk, tomatoes, and water. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cover. Cook gently.
4. Simmer the Curry: Let it simmer for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for another 10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
5. Finish the Dish: Once the lentils are soft and the sauce is creamy, stir in half the coriander. Taste and add more salt if needed.
6. Serve: Serve over basmati rice (or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option) with yogurt and the remaining coriander on top.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Spices: Fresh curry powder and turmeric make a big difference in flavor. If your spices are old, the curry might taste flat.
• Adjust the Consistency: If the curry gets too thick, add a little water. If it’s too thin, simmer it without the lid to thicken it up.
• Cook Lentils Properly: Ensure lentils are soft and fully cooked by simmering for the full time. If they’re undercooked, they’ll be hard.
• Balance the Seasoning: Always taste and adjust salt before serving. The right seasoning is key to a flavorful curry.
• Add Yogurt at the End: If using yogurt, add it as a topping after cooking to keep it fresh and creamy.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Lentil Curry cool to room temperature. Store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, store the curry in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat curry in a pot over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add water if needed to adjust thickness.
