Can I adjust the spice level of this curry?

Yes, the recipe uses 4 tablespoons of green curry paste and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. You can reduce the amount of green curry paste for a milder flavor or add a pinch of chili flakes for more heat.

What's the best way to serve this One-Pot Curry?

This curry is best served hot over a bed of fluffy rice or rice noodles, garnished with fresh cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime juice for brightness.

Can I use a different type of lentil instead of green lentils?

While green lentils hold their shape well and are recommended, you could substitute with brown lentils. Red lentils might break down too much, changing the texture of the curry.

How long does this curry last as leftovers?

This One-Pot Curry with Green Lentils stores well. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. It reheats beautifully on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Is there a substitute for coconut oil for sauteing?

You can use another high-heat neutral oil like avocado oil or refined sunflower oil if you prefer, though coconut oil adds a subtle complementary flavor to the curry base.

How to Prepare One-Pot Curry with Green Lentils [Vegan]

Heat a large pot on medium heat before adding the coconut oil. Heat for 30 seconds then sautee the ginger, onion and garlic. Sweat it out for around 5- 6 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning or heavy browning.
To the pot, add the green curry paste, coconut milk, turmeric, curry powder, seasoning, lentils, soy sauce and brown sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil then simmer with the lid on for 30 minutes.
At the last minute, add in the lime juice and cook for another few minutes.
Serve with fresh cilantro and lime on a bed of hot rice or rice noodles.
