Curry, I love all things curry. I find the spices so warming and comforting, which is perfect on colder winter night. You’ll just want cozy up and dive in.
This big pot of coconut curry lentils is a perfect grounding meal. Savory and flavorsome. It also serves as a great base to add lots of vegetables, like broccoli, and spinach.
It’s makes quite a generous amount. It’s about 6 servings if you add vegetables and jasmine rice like I do. If this is a lot for you, cut it in half. We have it for dinner then a few lunches with the leftovers.
