Tips:

Choose the right lentils. Split lentils are the best choice for this recipe because they cook quickly and easily. You can also use brown or green lentils, but they will take longer to cook.
Rinse the lentils before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
Don't overcook the lentils. They should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
Sauté the onions and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to develop their flavor.
Use a good quality curry powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
Add vegetables to the slow cooker along with the lentils. This will make the dish more nutritious and flavorful.
Serve the lentils with rice or naan bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Garnish the lentils with cilantro or yogurt before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

This crockpot curried lentils recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. The lentils are cooked in a creamy curry sauce with vegetables, making it a complete and satisfying dish. Serve it with rice or naan bread, and you have a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
