Curried Lentil, Tomato and Coconut Soup

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: almond milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

red lentils

🥗Healthier: green lentils

💰Cheaper: split peas

Green lentils are often more affordable and provide similar texture.

heat oil over medium heat and add onion

cook onion till tinged brown and softened (about 10 minutes)

add garlic, ginger, curry powder and chilli and stir for about 2 minutes

add the lentils and tomatoes

set aside 1/4 cup of coconut milk for garnishing

add stock, coriander, salt, pepper and remaining coconut milk bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer

stir frequently as those little lentils will want to stick to the base of the pan and we don't want that

cook for 20-25 until lentils are soft, but not mushy

check seasoning

serve drizzled with the reserved coconut milk, fresh coriander and lime

enjoy!
