How to Make Slow Cooker Lentil Curry
What makes this recipe so great is that not only does this Vegan Lentil Curry tastes good because of course, it does. It is actually because it is just soooooooo incredibly easy to make.
Put all the ingredients into your slow cooker (crockpot) and cover. Cook on high for 4- 5 hours until lentils are cooked through. Then stir in the coconut milk and spinach till wilted and serve.
Yeap, that’s all there is to it!
Recipe Tips
Feel free to use reduced fat coconut milk if you prefer. If you have access to fresh green you can add in fresh spinach or fresh arugula (rocket) and a bit of fresh cilantro. If not vegan you can use chicken broth.
Recipe Variations
Feel free to vary the spices you put in. Other spices to try include cumin, paprika and ground coriander. Change it up by using a Jamaican Curry Powder instead. You could also try it as a tomatoey spicy lentil soup instead. Just add in more chopped tomatoes and stock.

Tip moment here……. This recipe frees you up to do all the other things you need to do before the guests arrive i.e. a pamper bath, desserts, read, whatever. Or if you are like me you have time to manically shove mini chefs toys behind the sofa, in cupboards and even in the pantry so that the house looks nice and tidy. Yeap, there have been days when I find lego in the baking trays and Dora the explorer in the bread tins. Now repeat after me – I will go shove everything into my slow cooker and then make time for me, four whole hours for me, me, me………
