This red lentil curry is full of protein and iron and cooks in a short 20 minutes! Plus, the ingredient list isn't too long, so this is an ideal meal to make after a day of work or school when you still want something delicious and nutritious but don't want to be in the kitchen for over an hour. Make a big batch and eat the leftovers all week long, because the flavors develop even further in the refrigerator.
