  • 1 tsp. minced ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp. chili powder (or to taste)
  • 3/4 tsp. sea salt (or to taste)
  • 3/4 cup red lentils, rinsed

  • 1 can (13.5 oz.) full-fat coconut milk
  • cilantro and freshly ground pepper, to garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium sauce pan, cook the onion in oil over medium heat, until softened and golden (about 5 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add the garlic, ginger, curry, cumin, turmeric, chili, and salt. Cook for 1 minute, and then reduce the heat to medium-low.
