This vegan curry is packed with vegetables, fibre and plant-based protein – and a big flavor.
It takes around 30 minutes and I personally love to batch cook it and freeze it for when I have no time to cook. I used summer veggies (courgettes, tomatoes, carrots, leeks) but it can be adapted with your favorite ones.

For a complete meal pair it with some whole grain rice or pasta, whole bread, flatbread or baked potatoes.

*200 g red split lentils
* 3 big courgette, chopped
* 3 big carrots, chopped
* 1/2 leeks, sliced or more if you like it)
* 4 handfuls of tomatoes, cut in half

* 1 tsp cumin
* 1 tsp gram masala
* 2 tsp of dried coriander (or chopped fresh coriander)
* 1/2 tsp chili flakes
* 400g coconut milk
* salt
* pepper
* olive oil
