Ingredients

(Servings: 4)

  • 0.25 0.25 tsp Vita Coco coconut oil
  • 0.5 0.5 onions
  • 0.5 0.5 cloves garlic
  • 0.25 0.25 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.25 0.25 tsp ground cumin

  • generous pinch of salt

Method

  1. In a large pan, heat the oil until it becomes liquid and sliced onions over a medium-high heat
    for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the onions are golden brown.
    Remove half of the cooked onions from the pan, and set them aside.
  2. Add the garlic, turmeric, cumin and chilli flakes into the remaining onions and cook for 1
    minute. Then stir in the curry paste until combined.
  3. Pour in the red lentils and half of the stock, then simmer over a medium heat for 10
    minutes. After 10 minutes, add in the remaining stock and simmer until the liquid has
    absorbed, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir through the reserved caramelised onions and flat leaf
    parsley. Season to taste with sea salt. Serve hot.
