Instrucciones

1. Gather spices

2. Prep Ingredients: Peel and mince the garlic, ginger, and serrano peppers. Chop the cilantro.

3. Rinse Lentils: Rinse the lentils under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.

4. Rinse Basmati Rice: Rinse basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

5. Cook Spices: Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and serrano peppers. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add cumin, coriander, chili powder, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add Liquids and Lentils: Pour in vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the rinsed lentils and crushed tomatoes, and stir well.

7. Simmer Lentils: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender. If needed, add extra broth or water and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

8. Cook Rice: While the lentils are simmering, cook the rice. In a small saucepan, add the rinsed basmati rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

9. Add Coconut Milk and Finish Cooking: Stir in the coconut milk and nut butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered for 5-8 minutes until the curry thickens and becomes creamy.

10. Finish and Serve: Off the heat, stir in lemon juice and cilantro. Serve the lentil curry with the basmati rice or flatbread, garnished with additional cilantro.
