How to Make Speedy Spicy Vegetable Curry

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and cook until soft and pale golden, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 inch grated ginger. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 cup of chopped vegetables (use any combination of your favorites – carrots, potatoes, peas, cauliflower, etc.). Stir well to coat with the spice mixture.
  5. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of chopped tomatoes, 1 cup red lentils, 1 cup vegetable stock, and 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) just before serving.
