A good old curry… I don’t think you can ever go wrong with this firm family favourite. If you are lucky to have some curry left over, it tastes even better the next day. Vegan & gluten free.

Red lentil curry (gluten free, dairy free, vegan)

The secret to a flavoursome curry is cooking it on low temperature over a longer period of time. This way the meat will absorb all the delicious flavours from the spices and become very tender and juicy. However, I find that vegetable curries don’t need much time to cook, therefore the are on my top favourite list of quick and healthy family meals.

Red lentil curry (gluten free, vegan)

My next door Indian neighbour starts cooking her curries in the morning and all the spicy wafts make me want to invite myself to their dinner table… My neighbour has promised to show me how she makes her curries and I’m way too eager to learn her secrets.

Red lentil curry (gluten free, dairy free, vegan)

For now though, I hope you enjoy this fuss free yet delicious and healthy red lentil curry.

Thank you for stopping by.

Healthfully yours,

    What is meant by one tin of tomatoes? Im making this with a 28oz can right now and it seems super thin (I didn’t add all the broth either) Thanks! Love how simple, sleek, and to the point your website is.
