Whenever I want to make an easy plant-based meal loaded with protein, I make my chickpea and lentil curry. The chickpeas and lentils are simmered in a tomato and coconut milk sauce, with fragrant spices. I love serving this saucy curry over fluffy rice. It is ready in just 50 minutes and is perfect for busy weeknights that require extra sustenance.

Instructions
0 Sauté the coconut oil and onion in a large pot for 1-2 minutes. 1 Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes. 2 Add the bell pepper and diced chili, sauté for another 2-3 minutes. 3 Sprinkle in the cumin, turmeric, cilantro and garam masala, continue to cook until spices are fragrant. 4 Stir through the diced tomatoes, red lentils, and chick peas, cook for 2 minutes. 5 Add the coconut milk, stir until well combined. 6 Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stirring throughout the cooking time, you may want to add ¼ cup water if the sauce becomes too thick. 7 When the lentils have cooked and sauce has thickened stir through the salt and pepper, lemon juice, and spinach. 8 Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the leaves have wilted. Adjust seasoning to taste. 9 Serve with rice and naan bread.View original recipe
