Seasonings: Sea salt (to taste (1 tsp) Bay leaf (1) Curry powder (1 tbsp) Thyme - 1/2 tsp Garam masala - 1/2 tsp Garlic powder - 1/2 tsp Onion powder - 1/2 tsp Turmeric - 1/2 tsp Cayenne (to taste - optional) Ghee for sautéing onion (or coconut oil) 1/2 red onion A few tbsp of organic tomato paste 2 cups of water 1/2 can of full fat organic coconut milk 1 can of soaked chickpeas (remove skins) 1 cup of lentils (soaked for 24 hours) Fresh minced garlic (1 tbsp) Fresh minced ginger (1 tbsp) Step 1: Prep the lentils Rinse and soak your lentils ahead of time. This helps them cook more evenly and makes them easier to digest. Drain and set aside. Step 2: Build the flavor base Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add your ghee (or coconut oil to make it Vegan) and chopped onion, minced garlic and fresh ginger, stirring until fragrant — about 30–60 seconds. This is the foundation of your curry, so let it smell amazing before moving on. Step 3: Toast the spices Add your spices directly to the pot (such as turmeric, curry powder, cumin, coriander, or garam masala). Stir constantly for about 30 seconds to gently toast them. This step wakes up the spices and deepens the flavor. Step 4: Add lentils and liquid Add a few cups of water or chicken stock, then add the the soaked lentils and chickpeas to the pot. Stir well, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir to combine and let everything simmer together so the flavors meld. Step 5: Make it creamy Pour in coconut milk and stir gently. This is where the curry becomes rich, comforting, and balanced. Keep the heat low and let it simmer uncovered so it thickens naturally. Step 6: Season to taste Add sea salt and adjust spices as needed. Taste and tweak — this is where you make it yours. If it needs brightness, add a squeeze of lemon. If you want heat, add chili flakes or fresh pepper. Step 7: Final simmer Let the curry simmer gently for a few more minutes until thick, creamy, and deeply flavorful. The texture should be hearty but spoonable. 🔔 Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button for more clean and delicious recipes! 🔗 Follow Me: • Instagram: @MorganicEssentials • TikTok: @MorganicEssentials 📝 Let me know how yours turned out in the comments!
