Lentils and Potatoes Curry image

I love lentils because you don't have to soak them before they cook (no advance planning required). This is a very simple recipe with great flavor. Recipe courtesy of How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food. Serving size is estimated.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown lentils
13 1/2 ounces coconut milk
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 -3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
plain yogurt
fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Rinse the lentils. Heat the lentils, coconut milk and water, and curry powder to a simmer.
  • If you don't have coconut milk or prefer it without you may use all water or chicken broth or vegetable broth in it's place (use 3 1/2 cups liquid).
  • Stir lentils, cover partially and cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and stir in, then cover the pan completely and cook 10 minutes or so depending on how large the potato cubes are.
  • If the lentils start to look too dry, add some more water. You don't want them soupy but they should be moist.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and cook another 10 minutes or so.
  • Serve with yogurt and cilantro.
