Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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).

Before Serving

  • Stir in the coconut milk.

Serving Ideas

  • Serve over rice.
  • Serve over Baby Spinach, roughly chopped.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes.
  • Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
