Here is how you make Coconut Lentil Curry:

This can be prepared on the stove top or in a slow cooker.Stove top: In a deep sautee pan, add oil, spices, and chicken. Brown chicken and spices until aromatic. Add all other ingredients except spinach, if using. Bring to a boil and then simmer for close to an hour, adding water if necessary. Curry should be thick but not soupy. About 5 minutes before you're ready to turn the heat off, add the spinach. Slow Cooker: Combine all ingredients into a slow cooker. I have cooked this on high heat (2 hours), with great success. I've not tried a lower setting yet, but I will update this if I do.Makes 8 hearty portions. Freezes well. Good potluck dish to pass.
