Indian Spiced Lentils…

I have to admit, I am a little crazy about Indian spices…  🙂

This is a very simple, very healthy one pot recipe that we make at least once a week.

Ingredients: 1c red lentils, 2 tbsp coconut oil, 6-8 cloves garlic, 2 onions, 1-2 tbsp ginger, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tbsp fenugreek/tumeric, 2 tbsp coriander, .5 tsp salt/pepper, 3 tbsp tomato paste, cilantro.

• rinse and soak lentils while you are prepping the rest of the ingredients
• chop garlic and add to your pot once your oil has melted, cook 2-3 minutes (medium heat)
• add diced onions and cook another 5 minutes
• add all your spices, including freshly grated ginger and cook another 2-3 minutes
• add tomato paste and stir until everything is blended nicely
• drain your lentils and add them to the pot
• cover with 4c of water, bring to a boil, back down to medium heat and put a lid on it!  🙂
• add half your cilantro after lentils have absorbed most of the water (20ish minutes) and the remainder just before you serve….salt and pepper to taste…………………………and voila!

I hope you enjoy this one as much as we do…..happy eating!!
