Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups carrots - about 2 large carrots, chopped very small
  • 1/2 cup onion (diced)
  • 1 1/2 cups red lentils, dried
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 15 ounces chickpeas, drained, also called garbanzo beans
  • 2 teaspoons Garam Masala seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Partially boil the carrots then drain and set aside. Only about 5 minutes.
  • While the carrots are cooking add a couple of tablespoons of water to a large skillet and heat to medium. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. About 10 minutes.
  • Add the red lentils, dairy-free milk, vegetable broth, water, tomatoes, partially cooked carrots, garbanzo beans, garam masala ( This is a homemade recipe that is so easy to make and it will help you save money too), curry powder and salt. Stir well.
  • Bring to a quick boil and then turn down and simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes.
  • Every once in a while, stir to keep the beans and lentils from sticking.
  • At the end of 20 minutes check to see if the lentils are done. If not, cook a very few more minutes.
  • Taste and check for more salt or a dash of pepper but I don't think you will need any.
