How to Prepare Indian Cauliflower and Lentil Stew [Vegan, Gluten-Free, Oil-Free]

  1. Place spices and onion into a large pot. Sauté by adding a few tablespoons of water into pan, and onions are softened.
  2. Add in red lentils, cauliflower, and water and cook until red lentils have creamed out and cauliflower has softened. About 15 minutes.
  3. Add in coconut milk (or thickened almond milk), and stir in kale, parsley, and lemon juice.
  4. Serve over rice with additional parsley and fresh sprouts if desired.
  5. Thickens as it sits the next day. Enjoy thick like a stew, or thin it out with additional water if you prefer it more like a daal.
