Spiced red lentil Recipe

Prepare the Ingredients

Chop the onion, garlic, and carrot. Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and carrot, and cook for another 3 minutes.

Add Spices

Add cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook the Lentils

Add the rinsed red lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

Add Coconut Milk

Stir in the coconut milk and let it cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in fresh cilantro. Serve warm.
