Introduction
A delicious, creamy red lentil curry that is vegan-friendly, dairy-free, gluten-free, and incredibly easy to make in just one pot. Packed with aromatic herbs, spices, coconut cream, and tomato paste, it is highly filling and perfect on its own, with rice, or mixed vegetables.
Step 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large deep pan over low to medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the onions and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant and aromatic.
Step 3
Stir in the mild mustard, turmeric, ground coriander, mild curry powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir for about a minute to combine the spices.
Step 4
Add the tomato paste, coconut milk, rinsed red lentils, and boiling water. Increase the heat, stir the mixture thoroughly, and bring it to a boil.
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer gently for 45 minutes to allow the lentils to swell and absorb the liquid.

Important Notes
Always rinse the dry red lentils in a sieve before cooking to remove any dust or debris.
If cooking for individuals with gluten allergies, verify that all packaged ingredients are certified gluten-free.
This is a mild curry; if you prefer a spicier dish, you can easily add chili powder, cayenne pepper, or fresh chilies to the spice mix.
Lentils are highly nutritious and serve as an excellent source of protein, folate, and magnesium for vegan or vegetarian diets.
