A new favorite, my whole family loves this lentil curry, including my husband who doesn’t really care for lentils, generally!!
This is my quick go-to crock pot meal when I want something with little preparation time, ready for a hot meal in 6-8 hours!
As it is written, this would be a crossover, if following Trim Healthy Mama. Lessening the fat would be the way to turn this into an E.
Lentil Curry
5 cups dry lentils
2 quarts chicken broth
4 cans full fat coconut milk
2 – 6 oz cans tomato paste OR 2 – 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes in juice, pulsed in blender, or 1 of each
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons granulated onion
1 Tablespoon real salt
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 – 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 Tablespoon chipotle or crushed red pepper
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
Combine everything in the crockpot and cook for 6-8 hours or until done!
That’s it! Now you’re ready to get ready for church or head out to go grocery shopping! Make sure it has that 6-8 hour window for cooking time.

Just made this – fabulous! Cut the recipe in half as it is only my hubby and myself. Used low-fat coconut milk and did not add the butter. I’m THM but hubby put a big dollop of sour cream on his. This will become a regular in my rotation. Thank you!
