It’s finally time to break out the dried red lentils you’ve bought a long time ago (and forgotten about until now) because we are making a delicious, vegan red lentil curry today. It’s easy, flavorful, and healthy. You will love it!
Red Lentils are high in protein, a great source of fiber, and rich in b-vitamins and iron. They also cook faster than other lentils, that’s why red lentils are especially a great choice for a quick curry.
How to make a vegan red lentil curry
As always, you will find the whole recipe in the box below but I want to give you an overview of the ingredients and basic steps first.
The ingredients (and possible substitutions)
You will need:
- -dried red lentils (you can also use canned lentils instead)
- -tomato passata (I use store-bought tomato passata/purée (with salt, no additional herbs) for this recipe – it’s often canned or in cartons, not to confuse with tomato paste, which is thicker in consistency. You can also use crushed canned tomatoes instead.)
- -homemade cashew cream (for this you only need to blend: cashews and water; soaking the cashews beforehand will make it easier for your blender; alternatively you can also use full-fat coconut milk or unsweetened soy cream)
- -yellow onion
- -red onion (I like a mix of yellow and red onion, but of course, you can also use 2 yellow onions or 2 red onions instead)
- -oil and spices (salt, garam masala, ginger powder, caraway seeds, and black mustard seeds – don’t stress about it if you’re missing some of the spices)
- -Lemon juice (fresh is best)
- -fresh parsley (alternatively you can also use cilantro). Read More..
