Ingrédients

1 cup red lentils

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk

Salt to to taste

Cilantro for for garnish

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger in the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and cook until they soften and start to break down, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the red lentils and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and cooked through.
Add the chopped spinach and coconut milk to the pot. Stir until the spinach wilts and everything is well combined. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Season the curry with salt to taste. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. Enjoy your hearty, vegan curry!
