Green Lentil Coconut Curry Bowl

What?! Never cooked with Coconut milk or made lentils before. Are you seeing a theme here? This blog is my excuse to experiment - it's going well.

This dish is light and filling at the same time. I even made cauliflower rice! (graded cauliflower heated in a pan in a bit of olive oil). Seriously… WHAT?! Ok…

1 cup of dried green lentils cooked
1 can of chick peas
2 tsp of curry powder
3/4 tsp of cumin
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
2 gloves of finely grated garlic
2 inches of finely grated ginger
1/2 yellow onion diced
1 can of coconut milk
2 cups of chicken stock (or veg)
2 carrots diced
2 stalks of celery diced
1 cup of frozen peas
1/4 head of cauliflower chopped into small pieces.
1 tsp corn starch
Salt and pepper

Directions: soften the diced onion in a pan with some olive oil salt and pepper. Add chicken (or veg) stalk, corn starch, graded ginger, garlic, curry powder, cumin, cinnamon, diced carrots, celery, cauliflower.
Then add chick peas, cooked lentils, coconut milk.
I sliced the carrot and celery and cauliflower pretty small so it really didn't take long for it to be ready.

Serve on cauliflower rice (or regular rice).
