This Lentil Curry With Kale Over Charred Peppers is a warming casual vegan meal. Lentil curry, also called Dahl, is one of the most flavourful Indian stews. The lentils are cooked in a thick sauce spiced with ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander cinnamon and bay leaf. The aromatic Indian spices add a robust flavour to a simple lentil dish.

In this lentil recipe, I also added tomatoes, kale and sweet potatoes. For creaminess, I used dairy-free yogurt, or you can add coconut cream. I can’t tell you how satisfying and good this lentil curry is.

Because I wanted to add another flavour and texture, I made some charred peppers. The peppers are then topped with the thick flavourful curry. When you mix the two flavours, this Indian dish is so beyond delicious!

What to serve with lentil curry?

I like to serve this lentil curry with gluten-free naan bread. However, it is entirely optional. But honestly, who can resist a piece of naan dipped in the most delicious curry sauce.

What I love about this lentil curry dish, it is simple, delicious, healthy and made under 30 minutes. Lentils are an excellent addition to everyday meals because they are low in calories, rich in iron, folate, they have virtually no fat, and are a good source of plant-based protein and fiber.
