The ingredients for Green Lentil Curry are:

1 1/4 c dried green lentils
1/4 t ground turmeric
5 1/4 c water, divided
1 t finely grated ginger
1 garlic clove, mashed
2 t ground coriander
1 t ground cumin
3 T olive oil
1 small shallot, minced
3 T tomato paste mixed with 3 T of water
8 ounces green beans, cut into 3/4-inch lengths
4 ounces kale, stemmed and leaves finely chopped
2 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1 c finely chopped cilantro
1/2 t cayenne pepper
2 t salt, divided

Here is how you make Green Lentil Curry:

In a saucepan, combine the lentils with the turmeric and 5 cups of water; bring to a boil. Cover partially and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, until the lentils are barely tender. Add the green beans, kale, carrot, three-fourths of the cilantro and the cayenne and season with about 1/2 tsp of salt. Cook until the lentils and vegetables are tender, 15 minutes.While lentils and vegetables are cooking, combine the ginger, garlic, coriander and ground cumin in a small bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup of water to make a paste. In a small skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the spice paste and let cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until thick, about 1 minute longer.When the vegetables and lentils are tender, scrape the spice paste and the remaining cilantro into the pot. Season with additional sauce to taste and simmer for 5-10 minutes.Serving Size: 3/4 cupNumber of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BRISTOL64.
