Tomato And Lentil Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Combine lentils and water, bring to a boil.
• Lower heat to simmer, add tomatoes, onion, and celery. Cover and let simmer 45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes to stir, and add water if necessary. Add spices last 15 minutes to taste. Taste and re-spice if necessary before serving.

Steps:

• Combine in pan lentils, salt, curry powder, undrained chopped tomatoes, onion and water.
• Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, simmer 50-60 minutes, or until lentils are tender.
• Pour half the mixture into blender, blend on medium speed 30 seconds, repeat with the rest of the curry, stir in garlic & oil.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions, carrots and fennel and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
• Meanwhile, rinse and pick over the lentils to make sure there are no stones in the package.
• Add the tomatoes, lentils, chicken stock, curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pan. Raise the heat to bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer covered for about 40 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Check occasionally to be sure the liquid is still simmering. Remove from the heat and allow the lentils to sit covered for another 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, season to taste, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Separate cilantro leaves and stems. Chop leaves and set both aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, cilantro stems, ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add 6 cups water and lentils. Use a spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until lentils are nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add remaining 1 3/4 cups water, cherry tomatoes, and coconut milk powder. Cook over medium-high heat until lentils are very soft and stew is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Lightly crush tomatoes with a spoon.
• Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Lightly brush both sides of naan with 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place in the preheated oven and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
• Add carrots to the stew and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper, and 1/2 of the reserved cilantro leaves. Ladle stew into bowls. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and garnish with remaining cilantro leaves. Serve with toasted naan.
