Red Lentil Curry

This was a surprise hit with the family. I only chose it because I read a book with a lentil curry mentioned in it, and thought it sounded good, and this was the recipe I scoped out. It's a delicious dish, with a rich flavour. The family claimed they'd love it hotter (they added cayenne after serving) but I thought it was just fine as it is! I did increase the amount of lentils because I wasn't sure it would feed four adults otherwise - a wise choice which only left a little in the way of leftovers. I used two serranos, and the dried turmeric, and due to tree nut allergies I switched the almond butter for peanut butter - which was actually delicious! I had to use parsley instead of cilantro (I was out), but it turned out fine- I followed the rest of the recipe as written and will definitely make again.

It was absolutely delicious, think and creamy, and yummy.

We love this! I’ve made it many times and always double recipe so we can eat it for days. We add chicken

Omit garam masala - personal preference

Added onion to aromatics, used a full habanero (de-seeded). Used fresh tomatoes from garden instead of canned. Doubled the spices

The flavor is so phenomenal, one of my go-to recipes. I can't get specific lentils so I just bought a bag of I guess brown lentils. I then add another cup of broth and cook in the instant pot for probably 20 mins on high til the lentils are mushy. Not a difficult recipe at all either

Stronger coconut flavour than I was expecting but still great nonetheless, I even got asked to make it again sometime!

As all good currys do, this tastes better the next day. I added small diced vegetables to this such as pumpkin and cauliflower.

Added in some shredded carrot, shredded zucchini and diced bell pepper for some more veggies. Worked out perfectly!

Was delicious but i let it cook for longer to thicken it up even more

I also added leek and celery (3 sticks). Make sure to use canned crushed tomatoes. Simmer more to make it more like porridge and less soupy.

This is worth checking out.. big fan of curry in general but this was unique. The almond butter puts a delicious twist to the dish and the lemon/cilantro brighten it up
