This creamy, vegan curry made with green lentils can be made in one-pot in less than an hour. Perfect to warm you up on a cold winter day.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp. minced ginger
- 1 small onion thinly sliced

Instructions
- Heat a large pot on medium heat before adding the coconut oil. Heat for 30 seconds then sautee the ginger, onion and garlic. Sweat it out for around 5- 6 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning or heavy browning.
- To the pot, add the green curry paste, coconut milk, turmeric, curry powder, seasoning, lentils, soy sauce and brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil then simmer with the lid on for 30 minutes.
- At the last minute, add in the lime juice and cook for another few minutes.
- Serve with fresh cilantro and lime on a bed of hot rice or rice noodles.
Notes
You could also use vegetable oil.
If you are GF, use Tamari instead of soy sauce.
I recommend a traditional Green Curry Paste from a Thai Grocery Market.
