Curried Lentils With Spinach image

From Nava Atlas, "Vegetariana" Pretty tasty, very easy. Needs a little something. I thought it would be good with shrimp in it, Joe (DH) suggested some heat (hot bean paste?). Maybe cubes of butternut squash? If anyone comes up with something fabulous, please share!

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the curry flavor was spot on.

This was a great way to use up some leftover lentils. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and onion and it was a really hearty and flavorful meal.

I added some chopped tomatoes and bell peppers to this recipe and it was delicious! I also used a bit of coconut milk instead of water and it gave it a really rich flavor.

This is a great recipe for meal prepping. I make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. I'll have to try this recipe again.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll be sure to use less curry powder next time.

I've made this recipe with both green and brown lentils and it's always great. I also like to add a bit of chopped spinach at the end for some extra nutrition.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra curry powder and garam masala and it was much better.
