Red Lentil Curry

Easy and delicious vegan curry

Ate this at Home on

I found this recipe a while ago, and it turned out great. I make a big batch, then freeze in single serving containers. I can drop a frozen puck in a saucepan and it's warmed through by the time the rice cooker clicks off. Great for lunch or dinner.
