I discovered this one day while trying to use up some leftover canned tomatoes and celery. You could probably double, triple, etc. the ingredients and brew up a whole pot of this. Feel free to use fresh tomatoes too, if you like.

CURRIED LENTIL AND CHICKPEA STEW



Curried Lentil and Chickpea Stew image

This recipe converted at least 3 people I know to curry, and many to lentils. Even my husband - who previously disliked lentils and curry - LOVES this recipe. Chunks of carrots and potatoes make this recipe hearty, while the lentils and Chickpeas give it plenty of fiber, nutrients and protein. Omit the Chickpeas if you're not a fan, or try it... you just might like it! This was my first vegan recipe.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lentils. Brown or green lentils are best for this stew as they hold their shape well. Red lentils can also be used, but they will break down more and result in a thicker stew.
  • Soak the lentils. Soaking the lentils for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help them cook more evenly. You can also soak them overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices in this stew are what give it its unique flavor. Be sure to use a good-quality curry powder and garam masala. You can also add other spices to taste, such as cumin, coriander, or turmeric.
  • Cook the stew low and slow. This will allow the flavors to develop and the lentils to soften. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the lentils are tender.
  • Serve with rice or bread. This stew is traditionally served with rice or bread. You can also serve it with yogurt or raita.
