How to Prepare Spicy Peanut Curry With Lentils and Millet [Vegan]

  1. Bring water to a boil and prepare the lentils as instructed on the package. Don’t add salt just yet, since they won’t cook otherwise.
  2. Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and wait until l they start to pop, then add the garam masala and the onions. Shortly after, add the garlic and sweet potato. Cook everything while stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, get the water for the millet to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Cook it with some salt at low heat for 10 minutes, then let it sit covered for 10 more minutes.
  4. Back to the curry. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 more minutes, then add the water. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are soft, then stir in the kale.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk and 3 tablespoon liquid taken from the curry pot and whisk in the peanut butter. Transfer it back to the curry and stir until smooth. Add the salt, chili, cilantro, and more seasoning to taste.
  6. Drain the lentils and add salt pepper and lemon juice. With a fork, fluff the millet.
  7. Arrange everything on a plate and decorate with chili threads or fresh cilantro.
