- 16 oz Brown Lentils
- 1 large Yellow Onion, chopped
- 2 Medium Carrots, diced
- 1 15.5 oz can Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 Garlic Cloves, pressed or finely diced
- 7 cups Vegetable Broth, divided
- 1 29 oz Can Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 tsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 2 tsp Garam Masala
- 2 Tbsp Curry Powder
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Coriander
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 ½ tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1 can Coconut Milk
Rinse lentils in a colander and pick through (to remove debris and little stones).
Add lentils to crock pot.
Pour in 6 cups of the broth (Keep remaining broth to add if lentils get too thick).
Add all other ingredients except the coconut milk to the crock pot. Stir and put lid on.
Set to High and cook for 4-5 hours, or Low for 6-8 hours. Cooking time will vary with different models of slow cookers. You want to cook until the lentils are soft (different types of lentils will cook at different times. I used brown lentils).
