My hearty potato lentil coconut curry recipe has recently been my new favorite! It will definitely warm you up on these chilly winter evenings. The creaminess from the coconut milk, soft chunks of potato, cooked lentils, and array of spices all tie together into a beautiful and satisfying bowl of vegan curry.
I've made this recipe at least five times in December and two times (so far) this January because it's that delicious! (Been keeping my pantry stocked up with potatoes and coconut milk cans.) Making this recipe is a great way to start your new year with a healthy, vegan, and nutrient-rich meal.
Enjoy this curry recipe with:
~ brown rice
~ quinoa
~ roasted veggies
~ vegan naan/roti
I personally eat it with some warmed up vegan naan/tortilla. No need for silverware when you got bread as the utensil!
Hope you love it just as much as I do!
