Coconut Curry Lentils

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.
