Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 cups dried green or red lentils, picked over
4 carrots, thinly sliced
2 leeks, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced and well rinsed Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 5-ounce package baby spinach (about 8 cups)
2 pieces naan bread Plain yogurt and fresh cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add 1 tablespoon curry powder and the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the ginger and garlic are well coated, about 1 minute.
  • Add the lentils, carrots, leeks and 7 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the liquid simmers. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the lentils are tender and start breaking apart, about 25 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until wilted; season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cut the naan into 1-inch pieces. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the naan and toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
