This one-pot lentil curry is the perfect vegan weeknight meal! It comes together in less than 30 minutes and is made with all plant-based wholesome ingredients. This healthy lentil curry is also perfect for meal prep as it gets better with time, and lasts in the fridge for up to a week!

🍲How long does lentil curry last in the fridge?
This plant-based red lentil curry lasts in the fridge for 4-7 days. It should be stored in an airtight container. It’s best not to freeze this curry as the coconut milk tends to separate when frozen and de-thawed.

🍲Can I use red lentils instead of split red lentils?
Red lentils can be used in this recipe, however it will change the cooking time. If you want to make this entire dish in under 30 minutes, split red lentils are a must.

🍲Red lentils take longer to cook than split red lentils. Split red lentils come from red lentils but have had their seed coating removed, and have been split in half. Most dried red lentils sold in stores are the split variety.

What sides go well with curry?
🍲Naan Bread
🍲Garlic Naan
🍲Roti
🍲Basmati Rice
🍲Samosas
🍲Salad or chickpea salad
🍲Cucumber salad
🍲Vegetable Pakoras

🍲The best way to serve this dish is with basmati rice, and naan or roti. Flat bread is always welcome at our table. It’s the perfect way to eat this dish without any cutlery.
Is this red lentil curry gluten free?
Yes! This one-pot curry is 100% gluten free. Serve with rice or gluten free flat bread to keep it GF friendly.

🍲This red lentil curry is also free of tomatoes and night shades. It’s the perfect dish for food sensitivities. Tip* If you like tomatoes, try adding a large handful of cherry tomatoes cut in half. Add the tomatoes at the same time as the split red lentils.
Notes on the spiciness:

🌶You like heat: If you have a serrano pepper or two, finely dice them and cook alongside the onion and carrot.

🚫🌶 You sweat just looking at a hot pepper: Reduce the hot chili powder to 1 tsp or remove it all together if you really can’t handle spice.

🍲 Keep in mind, coconut milk will help cool the spice level in any dish. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away. Adjust the spice level to your preference (or the preference of those you’re serving it to!)
