Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lentils: Rinse the red lentils under cold water and set aside.

  2. Cook the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Add the Spices: Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook the spices for about 1 minute to release their flavors.

  4. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

  5. Cook the Lentils: Add the rinsed lentils to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

  6. Add the Coconut Milk: Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Let the curry simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

  7. Serve: Ladle the curry into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with cooked rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
