Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Cook for a minute to toast the spices.
- Add the rinsed red lentils, diced tomatoes, and coconut milk to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the curry has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the red lentil curry over cooked rice or with naan bread. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
