Lentil Curry

This delicious lentil curry is super simple to make and was served as the base for this amazing lentil feast the other day for lunch.

So far I’ve shared the sauteed beet greens recipe, which even my husband loved and he doesn’t usually like greens all that much. I’ve also shared the coconut flour flat bread recipe So here’s the lentil curry and the cucumber salad is yet to come.

I do cook my lentils from the dried ones, simply because it’s more cost effecctive and they taste better. I’ll often cook up a big batch and freeze portions. But you could use canned ones to save loads of time on the cooking process.
