Throwback Thursday is a new series where I take some of my original posts here on Curry and Comfort and redo them so I can take better photos.
Ingredients:

2 cups water
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 small piece of cinnamon stick
1 medium onion chopped
2 green chilies
2-3 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp of ginger grated
10-20 curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp cumin seed
2-3 broken dried red chilies
6-8oz fresh spinach (frozen spinach can be used as well)
1 cup of coconut milk.
Directions:

Step 1: Wash the Masoor Lentils well in cold running water. If you see any stones, make sure you pick them out. Place in a shallow pan with water, cinnamon stick, 10 curry leaves and turmeric. Boil on medium high heat for 20 minutes. You will know the lentils are done when the water has cooked out and the lentils are soft and tender. The turmeric will give the lentils a sunny yellow color.
Step 2: Heat a large pan with 2 Tbs of canola oil on med-high heat. When the oil is heated, add the seeds, remaining curry leaves and




Now add the cooked lentils. Stir

ReplyDeleteI love spinach and this lentil curry looks delicious! Great colors too!
ReplyDeleteYummy! The spicy spinach and lentil curry looks so delicious! I've been looking for a variety of curries since fall is approaching here in Oregon. As for Masoor lentils, are they different than regular lentils I usually see at my local groceries? And thank you for sharing a meatless meal, I appreciate seeing vegan and vegan-friendly recipes nowadays! ^_^
ReplyDeleteHI Rika, thank you for dropping by. The masoor lentils are small orange lentils that cook very fast (no soaking required). It's not the green or brown lentils that you usually find in the grocery store. You may be able to use those as well... it may taste different... but still good I'm sure. If you have an Indian grocers near you... they will definitely carry masoor lentils. Enjoy. :)
DeleteI just started a vegetarian diet this week and tried lentils for the first time. Love them! So I'm happy to see this meal, which looks fantastic and flavorful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking dish, definitely want to give this a try!
