Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups lentils, uncooked (3 cups cooked)
  • 2 cups Jasmine rice, uncooked (4 cups cooked)
  • 1 medium-large onion, chopped
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 TB coconut oil
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3 tsp Garam Masala seasoning blend
  • ½ tsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Instructions
  1. To prepare lentils: Place lentils in a quart-sized jar. Add 2 TB whey or lemon juice, and fill with warm water until lentils are covered. Cover jar and leave in a warm place for 7 hours. Drain, rinse, and place in a pot with three cups of water. Cook until lentils are soft and most of the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  2. To prepare rice: Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add rice, lower heat, cover and simmer until rice is cooked and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. (I like to boil my water while I'm preparing the curry, and then simmer the curry while the rice is cooking.)
  3. To make Curried Lentils: In medium skillet (8-inch), heat coconut oil over low heat until melted. Increase heat to medium, add apples and onions. Cook until onions are translucent and apples are soft, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add garam masala, curry powder, and grated ginger. Toss with apples and onions and cook until the spices are slightly toasted.
  5. Add lentils and coconut milk. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve over rice and enjoy!
