loaded golden lentil curry

Ingredients

1 large onion, diced

2 tbsp fresh peeled and diced ginger

3 ½ tbsp fresh peeled and diced turmeric

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp coriander seed

½ tsp garlic granules

¼ tsp + 1/8 tsp cinnamon

⅛ tsp cardamom

360 g (2 cups) dry red lentils

230 g (2 cups) baby potatoes, chopped into thirds

6 cups water

40 g purple raisins or chopped prunes

40 g golden raisins or chopped apricots

180 g (1 1/3 cups) sweet corn (fresh or frozen)

1 red pepper, diced

¼ tsp - 1/2 tsp dried turmeric (start with 1/4 and add more to taste)

½ cup oat milk (I like Oatly Low Fat)

Preparation

Pre-heat a heavy-bottomed stew pot (I used a dutch oven) over medium heat. Then add the diced onion and a small pinch of salt to promote faster water evaporation from the onions. Let the onions sweat until soft and somewhat translucent (5-10 minutes). Add the diced turmeric, ginger, extra virgin olive oil, and all spices except the dried turmeric, and sautee for another 10 minutes or until everything is extra soft and tender.

Add the red lentils, potatoes, and water, and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat; add the dried fruits; and continue simmering until the lentils and potatoes are soft (about 45 minutes).

Add red pepper, corn, dry turmeric, and oat milk. Continue cooking another 10 minutes. Then season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve with hummus or avocado, ferments, and salad (I like a simple one made with just diced red peppers, broccoli sprouts, lime juice, and herbs).
