Low cal simple green lentil recipes please

Serves 4| Hands-On Time: 10m| Total Time: 30m
Ingredients

3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, chopped
8 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
1 tablespoon curry powder
4 medium carrots (about 8 ounces), chopped
1 large russet potato (about 10 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup red lentils
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
kosher salt and black pepper
naan bread and lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallion whites and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the curry powder. Add the carrots, potato, lentils, broth, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the curry with the scallion greens and serve with the naan and lime wedges.

No need to soak lentils. My default recipe is this:

Boil lentils with a whole clove of garlic cut in half across the cloves and a few springs of mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and thyme. They take 25-40 minutes depending on how dry they are (how long they've been on the shelf). Taste after 20 minutes so as to be sure not to overcook them. They should still be chewy and al dente, not soft. Drain, discard herbs and garlic, and dress with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

They're "supposed" to be soaked overnight, but you can just boil them for 30ish minutes (until soft).

1) lentil patty on a bun - fry onion, garlic, add mashed potato and something to hold it together (egg, ground flaxseed, etc). If you use a non stick fry pan, you can use water.

2) dahl - add chickpeas, cauliflower, or other veggies like peas, and spices like cumin, cilantro, curry powder and light coconut milk (coconut cream is high calories).

3) anything with "mince meat". Just substitute the "meat" with lentils, and spice it up with your favourite sauces. For example, tacos, burritos, lasagne. Just keep an eye on portions / oil content

Enjoy

I have mine with Courgettes ( steamed ) and a piece of Cod wrapped in foil and baked in the oven.

There is one in my magazine this month I though I might try (I have omitted the high calorie double cream and streaky bacon)

1. soften veg then add lentils and stock boil down for 30 mins then add spinach cook for few mins then whizz down.
