Red Lentil Curry

We recommend serving this curry with basmati rice!

Ingredients:

2 cups of red lentils
3 cups water (or more if needed)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons of curry paste
1 tablespoon of curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of white sugar
1 teaspoon of chopped garlic
1 teaspoon of chopped fresh ginger
1 can of tomato puree

Directions:

1. Rinse the lenses in cold water (until the water runs clear).
2. Place the lentils in a pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer. Add more water if needed (to cover the lentils). Cook for about 15-20 minutes (until the lentils are soft). Remove excess water.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry the onions (until caramelized, about 20 minutes).
4. In a large bowl, mix curry paste, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, salt, sugar, garlic and ginger. Mix this mass into the pan with the onions.
5. Increase the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
6. Stir in tomato puree and lentils; reheat everything a little more. Delicious!
