RECIPE: Lentil Curry
Updated: Sep 8, 2022
I can make a curry dish out of any ingredient! This is one of my favorite plant based curry dishes, because it is quick, easy, and no special ingredients are needed!

This curried lentil soup is quick and easy to prepare, yet it tastes like something you’ve been working on all day. It’s hearty, flavorful and filling, perfect for cold winter evenings when you just want something comforting to eat.
This is a vegan recipe, but feel free to be flexible with it and add animal protein if you prefer.
Meal Prep Tip: This curry can be divided in individual containers for meals for the week. When made ahead, reheat in the microwave, or add some coconut milk to a saucepan until heated through.

This is one of my favorite plant-based curry dishes because it is quick, and easy, and no special/crazy ingredients are needed! It goes well with rice or quinoa (if you add an egg this would make a great breakfast). Let me know if you tried this recipe below in the comments!
