Lentil Tikka Masala

 Tikka Masala can be enjoyed Gluten Free and Vegan. 



Ingredients:

  •  olive oil ... just enough so nothing sticks
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1-2  tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (fire roasted or with peppers added)
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups red lentils
  • 1 can coconut milk

Instructions:

Saute onion, garlic, ginger, and garam masala in olive oil until onions are translucent

Add can of tomatoes, broth, and lentils. Stir to combine.

Bring to a boil then turn heat down to low and cover. 

Once most of the liquid is absorbed, add the coconut milk. Start with 1/2 a can. Add the full can if the extra liquid is needed (based on personal preference and how absorbent the lentils are).


 

Enjoy with rice ... white or brown based on your preference.
