Add 1/2 cup rinsed lentils, 1 can light coconut milk, 1 cup tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon red curry paste, 1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic to medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 20-30 minutes. Prepare basmati rice. After 20 minutes, check doneness of lentils. They should be soft. Cook another 10 or so minutes, until soft. Once lentils are soft, add ¼ teaspoon salt and 3 cups fresh spinach. Top rice with lentil spinach curry, and squeeze lime before eating. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over top if you'd like a bit of spice. Enjoy.
