This turned out SO good! I'll surely be making some Naan to go with it for dinner. Im pretty confident this will go over well with the husband. It is a flavor I would expect to find and enjoy at our local Indian Restaurant. Id give it a 9!
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 cups red lentils
1 large onion, diced
1/8 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 inch ginger root, minced
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
DIRECTIONS
Wash the lentils in cold water until the water runs clear (this is very important or the lentils will get "scummy"), put the lentils in a pot with water to cover and simmer covered until lentils tender (add more water if necessary).
While the lentils are cooking: In a large skillet or saucepan, caramelize the onions in vegetable oil.
While the onions are cooking, combine the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, salt, sugar, garlic, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Mix well. When the onions are cooked, add the curry mixture to the onions and cook over a high heat stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce and reduce heat, allow the curry base to simmer until the lentils are ready.
Mix the curry base into the lentils and serve immediately.
