Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in diced carrot and celery; cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add Bo-Kaap curry powder and Bada Bing Bouillon; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

Add rinsed lentils and reduce heat to a simmer; cover and cook for 20-25 minutes until lentils are tender.

Stir in coconut milk and lime juice; simmer for another 5 minutes.
