Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
2 cups lentils, rinsed
3 cups diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and curry powder; stir 1 minute. Add 4 cups broth and lentils; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender and almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; thin with more broth if mixture is too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Combine yogurt and ginger in small bowl. Serve lentil stew, passing ginger yogurt separately.

This stew was a disappointment. The lentils were mushy and the curry flavor was bland.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good, but it wasn't my favorite. I might try a different lentil stew recipe next time.

I found that the lentils took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to simmer them for an extra 30 minutes.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less curry powder.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. It's a great set-it-and-forget-it meal.

This stew is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with lentils, tomatoes, carrots, and spinach.

I was a bit skeptical about the ginger yogurt sauce, but it really made the dish. It added a nice depth of flavor and creaminess.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover lentils.

I'm not usually a fan of lentil stews, but this one was delicious! The lentils were cooked perfectly and the curry flavor was spot-on.

This curried lentil stew was a hit with my family! It was flavorful, filling, and easy to make. I especially loved the ginger yogurt sauce, which added a nice tanginess to the dish.
