Lentil Curry - mega flavour lentil recipe! image

Recipe video above. This will be an eye opener for you - an incredible creamy coconut curry made with just TWO spices! Hugely economical, this is essentially a streamlined version of Indian Dahl, delivering a similar intoxicating curry flavour but a whole lot less complicated.

Number Of Ingredients 16

50g (3 tbsp) butter (, unsalted (sub 2 tbsp neutral oil))
4 garlic cloves (, finely minced (Note 1))
1.5 tbsp ginger (, finely minced (Note 1))
1 onion (, finely chopped (white, yellow, brown))
2 tbsp curry powder (, mild or spicy (your choice!) (Note 2))
1/2 tsp tumeric powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (, optional)
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup dried lentils (, green or brown (or any other dried lentils or split peas, Note 3))
400 ml / 14 oz coconut milk (, full fat)
400g/ 14 oz canned tomato (, crushed or diced)
3 cups (750 ml) water
1/2 cup coriander/cilantro (, finely chopped)
Yogurt (, optional)
Basmati rice ((or other rice))

Steps:

  • Saute onion: Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger. Slowly cook, stirring every now and then, for 10 minutes until tinged with gold and the onion is sweet.
  • Cook off spices: Turn heat up to high, add curry powder and turmeric, stir for 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Add everything else: Add remaining ingredients and stir. Bring to simmer, then place lid on and adjust heat to low / medium low so it's simmering gently.
  • Simmer: Simmer for 30 minutes, then remove lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes to reduce the sauce. {Note 2 for cook times of other lentils}
  • Lentils should be soft, sauce should be thickened and creamy. Too thick, add water. Too thin, simmer with lid off - thickens quickly.
  • Coriander: Stir through half the coriander, then taste and add more salt if needed.
  • Serve over basmati rice, sprinkled with more coriander and a dollop of yogurt. (Low carb option - cauliflower rice).

  • Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds and toast until they start to brown, about 45 seconds. Add the garlic to the pot and let it brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the can of crushed tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt to the pot and cook, stirring the pot a few times, for 5 minutes. Add the lentils and, if using, the cayenne powder, and the water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the lentils are soft. Stir the pot a few times to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom. If the curry starts to look dry, add an extra 1/2 – 1 cup of water.
  • Once the lentils are soft and the curry is thick, add the coconut milk and cherry tomatoes and bring the pot back to a simmer. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
