Anweisungen

In a deep pot over medium high heat, add the coconut oil.

Once the oil is heated, add in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Reduce to medium heat. Saute until the onions are translucent and the ginger and garlic are fragrant, about 6 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium. Add in the sea salt, ground black pepper, ground cumin, curry powder and garam masala. Stir into the onion mix to combine. Add in the red curry paste and sauté it all together, heating up the spices to bring out more flavour, for about 3-4 minutes. Feel free to add a splash of water to keep it moving.

Add in the lentils and stir to combine. Grind some sea salt and ground black pepper over the mixture and stir together. Now add the tomatoes (blended for a smoother curry), water and coconut milk and stir again to combine thoroughly.

Bring the curry to a boil, and then reduce to medium-low so that the mixture continues to simmer for 35 minutes, cover slightly but allowing steam to escape. Stir occasionally to ensure the lentils don't stick to the bottom. Depending on the kind of lentils you're using, you can check around the 20 minute mark to see if your lentils have finished cooking.

Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper if you desire. Remove the curry from the heat and squeeze a lime lightly over the top of the curry, stirring to combine. Don't skip this step!! Allow to cool slightly and then serve. Enjoy!
