Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 cubes
  • 1 tbsp peanut/sesame some sort of oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp plain or Greek yogurt

Method

  • Put the lentils, coconut milk, vegetable broth and curry powder in a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer.
  • Partially cover and stir every now and then and let cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Add potatoes to the pan and cover.
  • After about 10 minutes, stir in peanut/sesame oil and add more liquid (veg broth or water) if it's getting dry.
  • Add peas, cover and keep cooking until lentils and potatoes are tender when poked with a fork, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • If it gets too dry, add more liquid.
  • It should be moist, but not soupy.
  • Finish with lots of black pepper and cilantro.
  • Top off with yogurt and enjoy!
  • (p.s.
  • I always go back for more yogurt!)
