This lentil curry without coconut milk is an easy vegetarian curry that can be tweaked to suit your personal tastes regarding spice and heat. I used green peppers, but you can experiment with other types of vegetables such as cauliflower, red pepper, or okra! Serve with basmati rice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if you like.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can cooked green lentils

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garam masala, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Add lentils and stir well. Simmer for 10 minutes, but do not bring to a boil.

Tips

If you want to add meat, I suggest either chicken breast or diced beef. Brown while frying the vegetables before adding the spices.
