Instructions
1
Rinse the lentils thoroughly in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a pot. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Then add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Add the turmeric, cumin, curry powder and paprika to the pot. Stir the spices quickly (about 30 seconds) to release their aromas in the oil.
4
Add the lentils, tomato pieces and vegetable stock. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered for 15–20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened.
5
Pour in the coconut milk and cook for another 5 minutes, until the curry comes together into a velvety texture.
6
Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with whole grain rice or naan bread.
