The story behind this recipe
Coconut milk has been on my shopping list for a while now, and even if I have some at home, I keep buying a few more cans, just to have them on hand🙈, because it works wonderfully in any dish.
But I think it pairs best with those spicy Indian-inspired flavors.
This Thai curry with lentils and chickpeas is very easy and relaxed to make, because there is no way you can go wrong with it.
For 3-4 servings, we need:
1 large onion
2 bell peppers
1 can of lentils
1 can of chickpeas
1 can of coconut milk
2 cups of tomato sauce
2 good handfuls of fresh spinach (can be omitted)
Curry, turmeric, ginger (all ground together) — we add this mixture 5 minutes before turning off the heat.
Salt to taste.
Sauté the sliced onion and the bell peppers cut into strips in a little oil for 5 minutes.
Add the lentils and chickpeas, tomato sauce, and 1 cup of water.
You can turn the heat up high and it will be done in 20 minutes, or you can let it cook slowly. I left it on low heat for an hour or so..
After that hour, I added the can of coconut milk, which I shook well so the cream would combine with the coconut water.
Towards the end, add the chopped spinach (it doesn't take long to cook).
I let the flavors get to know each other, then added all the spices.
I served it with rice and lime. Oh my...!!
