Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion , finely minced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves , see note 1
  • 2 tablespoons Mild Curry Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1.5 cups Vegetable Broth , see note 2
  • 1 can Coconut Milk (14-ounce/400 milliliters), see note 3
  • 2 cups Cooked Lentils (380 grams), see note 4
  • 6 cups Raw Broccoli Florets
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • A Drizzle of Lemon Juice

Instructions 

  • In a large pot (see note 5), heat the oil. Add finely minced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir until the garlic releases its aroma.
  • Add curry powder, ginger and stir for a few seconds before adding broth, coconut milk, lentils, broccoli florets and salt and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add a drizzle of lemon juice, taste and serve!
  • Enjoy with rice or naan bread!

Notes

  1. 4 garlic cloves should yield about 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
  2. I used low sodium vegetable broth. If you use regular one, make sure to use less salt. I recommend seasoning it at the very end.
  3. Coconut milk CANNOT be substituted with coconut milk drink or cream of coconut!
  4. You can change the quantity of lentils if you like: For more protein, add 2 cups of lentils. For less, add 1 cup only.
  5. I recommend using a pot that holds more than 3-quart/3-liter of liquid.
  6. You will find more information, tips and serving suggestions in the full post above this recipe card.
