Ingredients

1 cup red split lentils
3 cups vegetable stock
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup coconut milk canned

Instructions

Pick out any stones from the lentils, and then rinse.
To a large skillet, add lentils, vegetable stock, and spices. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until lentils have softened.
Add the coconut milk and stir to combine. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
(Optional) Serve with lime, roasted carrots, and feta, if desired.

Notes

Note that in this recipe you will want to use the type of coconut milk that comes in a can. The kind that comes in a carton has a different consistency, and would not work well in this dish.

This recipe does not use the full can of coconut milk, if you use a 15 or 13 oz can, so reserve the rest of the coconut milk for use in another dish,
