Categories: Indian, Stews
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lg Onion; cut into chunks
2 cl Garlic; crushed
1 ts Fresh ginger; chopped
1 tb Olive oil
2 ts Curry powder or garam masala
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Ground cumin
1/2 ts Ground coriander
1/4 ts Dry mustard
1/4 ts Black pepper; freshly ground
1/4 ts Cayenne
1/4 ts Turmeric
1/8 ts Ground cardamom or cloves
- (optional)
4 c Water
1 1/4 c Dried brown lentils;
- picked over & rinsed
2 lg Carrots;
- halved lengthwise and
- cut into thin half-moons
3/4 c Green peas; thawed
1 c Unsweetened coconut milk
Cooked basmati rice;
- hot, to serve

In a food processor, puree the onion, garlic, and ginger.

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion
puree, cover, and cook to mellow the flavor, about 5 minutes,
stirring a few times to make sure it doesn't burn. Stir in all of the
spices and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the water and bring to
a simmer. Add the lentils, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Add the
carrots, cover, and continue to cook until tender, about 20 minutes
more.

When the lentils and carrots are tender, stir in the peas and coconut
milk. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Simmer, uncovered,
to incorporate the flavors, about 10 minutes. Serve hot over rice.
