red lentil curry

chefabitino

This sounds great , thanks for sharing.
I used to make dahl all the time, with a pretty similar recipe, though without the apples.
My husband is not a fan of either vegetarian or Indian food, but he's going to be away for a while, so I"ll try it out then

PS. Labrat, don't be scared, the lentils will probably kind of disappear into the sauce and just make it thick and delicious!

I have heard this before..
Try this one day. Put less amount of curry and don't tell him. I bet he will never notice and love it!
I happen to use Thai curry and it is not as pungent, I find myself adding more as I continue to taste.
Unless he is allergic, then scratch what i said lol

PS - any idea of a breakdown of cals on this one, per serving

I am breaking it down at the moment. I will post when done!
Please keep in mind, that the calories in this dish are deceiving. The majority are from the good fat. (olive oil, coconut milk, apple)
Being a Chef, when I cook I use good and healthy ingredients. So I tend not to let the calories scare me. By the end of the day I always end up not using all my calories intake anyway. But I know I am eating healthy!
My body loves me know.. lol

I actually got 10 cups. But at 8 servings, 212 per cup is not bad for something you made from scratch and healthy..

I love lentils and anything with curry and keep saying I need a recipe with eggplant. Gotta get that purple into the daily rainbow. I have been wanting to try indian foods but the recipes are all too complicated. This looks simple. Something even this single working mom can throw together. Thanks!
