Ingredients
  • 2 tsps ground cinnamon .
  • 1 tsp ground cumin .
  • 1 tbsp curry powder, mild, good quality .
  • 1 large white onion, peeled & sliced .
  • 2 tsps fennel seeds .
  • 1/2 c finely sliced parsley (optional) .
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar .
  • 2 c water .
  • oil (for frying) .
  • 3 tomatoes, ripe, peeled & sliced .
  • 2 c red lentils (the split red lentils) .
  • 1 c carrots, sliced (about 3 carrots) .
  • 1 tsp ground coriander .
  • 4 tbsps soy sauce .
  • 1 c peas (frozen is easiest) .
  • 1 tsp ground ginger (or use 1 T fresh ginger, grated) .
  • 1 c zucchini, sliced (or butternut squash, in julienne strips) .
  • 14 oz coconut milk (400 ml)

Directions
  • Step #1 Heat a generous amount of oil in a medium pot (the spices absorb oil).
  • Step #2 Fry the sliced onion, stirring a few times, for 5 mins or until softened.
  • Step #3 Use medium heat.
  • Step #4 Add the curry powder & spices.
  • Step #5 It's easiest & more practical to measure them before starting & mix them in a small bowl.
  • Step #6 (Curry, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, fennel seeds).
  • Step #7 Stir well, & fry spices with the onion for about 2 mins.
  • Step #8 Add the peeled, sliced tomato & the sugar.
  • Step #9 (The tomatoes must be peeled & the sugar is essential).
  • Step #10 As coconut milk separates in the tin, empty into a bowl & whisk until smooth.
  • Step #11 Add the coconut milk, lentils, soy sauce, carrots & water to the pot with the spices.
  • Step #12 Stir everything well, & bring to boil over higher heat.
  • Step #13 When it starts boiling, put the lid on the pot, almost closed but not quite -- tilted a little.
  • Step #14 Reduce heat to low enough so pot simmers slowly.
  • Step #15 Simmer until lentils are tender & have absorbed the liquid -- about 20 - 25 mins.
  • Step #16 Add the zucchini & peas, & let simmer just a min or two, stir through, until the two last vegetables are barely done & not mushy.
  • Step #17 Mound in a dish & keep warm until serving, or heat carefully the next day.
  • Step #18 The flavor improves if made ahead of time.
  • Step #19 Sprinkle top over parsley for colour just before serving.
  • Step #20 Serve with blobs of thick Greek yoghurt & a large bowl of sliced bananas sprinkled with lime or lemon juice.
  • Step #21 (Or a side dish of your choice).
  • Step #22 PLEASE NOTE: This is also a perfect, all-in-one side dish for meat-eaters.
  • Step #23 It is delicious with a bowl of oven-baked chicken pieces, flavored with seasoning salt & some Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce -- which is what I served with it last night.
  • Enjoy the Spicy Lentil & Vegetable Dish recipe
