Vegan Lentil Curry

Love lentils, and love a sweet and sour curry so we’re super happy with this recipe for Vegan Lentil Curry. It’s loosely based on Dansak…and I do mean loosely. 

We aren’t great with hot spices, so this is mild. If you want more heat just increase the amount and strength of the curry powder you use.  I realise it’s controversial to use Pineapple juice, but honestly I’ve had pineapple chunks in restaurant Dansak curries before so I’ve not gone completely mad. It does add a nice sweetness to the dish which we love. 

We’ve added roasted sweet potato, and mushrooms to this dish. But that’s because its what we had available. I think some roasted cauliflower would be nice as well.  Roasting vegetables really does bring out their flavour and it’s simple to do while the lentils are bubbling away.

One of the things that’s great about curry is that it’s delicious the next day, so leftovers are always popular in our house. Also, it’s a pretty forgiving dish, you can add a bit more stock if  you get the timings of the rice or Nan Bread wrong and it should be fine. You can also turn off the heat and reheat it later if you wish.

We love it with Vegan Nan Bread, and have come up with a recipe that we think is great – you can check it out here:

So, this is the perfect Friday night curry at a fraction of the take away price! Enjoy.

Vegan Lentil Curry Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • 1 tsp ground Coriander
  • 1 tsp mild Chilli Powder, or stronger if you prefer
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1 inch piece of fresh Ginger, chopped roughly
  • 2 heaped tsp of Garam Masala
  • 2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Mild Curry Powder (or stronger if you want)
  • 1 small onion - diced
  • 200 ml Pineapple juice
  • 1200ml Vegan Vegetable Stock
  • 1/3 cup Mango Chutney
  • 3 heaped Tbsp of Coconut Yoghurt
  • 1 Tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 2 cups Red Lentils
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped into smallish cubes
  • 3/4 chopped mushrooms
  • A bit of oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Fry the onion in a little oil until translucent
Step 2
Take the ginger, onion, garlic, chilli and curry powders, garam masala, turmeric, and whizz them into a paste. If it makes it easier just add a tablespoon of water
Step 3
Add the paste to a large frying pan with high sides and cook for a few minutes
Step 4
Add in the mango chutney, pineapple juice, coconut yoghurt and stock and whisk to combine. Add in the lentils and stir
Step 5
Now leave it on a low heat to bubble away for 45 minutes or so. Stir occasionally to make sure no lentils are sticking to the bottom of the dish. You can always add a bit of stock if you think it’s too thick. Just do a little at a time.
Step 6
Now is the time to roast your vegetables – peel and dice the sweet potato, toss in a bit of oil and roast for 30 minutes in a hot oven. If you are adding in roast cauliflower it will only take about 10 minutes in the oven. Slice your mushrooms and fry in a bit of dairy free butter if you like. We add them raw and let them cook in the lentils.
Step 7
After 40-45 minutes the lentils should be cooked, but have a bit of bite to them. Stir in your veg and dinner is ready! I love it with Naan, but rice is good too.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
