Hey Everyone, I hope your day has been well.
Today’s recipe is a delicious lentil and pea curry. I think this was my first time cooking with green lentils and they were easy to cook with, they did take a little longer than the red split lentils I’ve been using recently but that was expected. Green lentils are great because they have a slight peppery taste and remain quite firm once cooked.
I’d recommend adding a little sprinkle of each of the spices depending on which ones you like best but a mixture of everything will make a super tasty curry. I’ve been making curry type recipes a lot recently because they are so quick and easy to make and really perfect for these cold evenings. If the texture looks a bit odd it is because I also added in some meatless mince to stay in line with the vegetarian theme but that is optional.
