Lentils Kale Cauliflower Curry

Some evenings, just like you, I spent a lot of time scratching my head for meal ideas. But yesterday I didn’t want to waste my time and energy brainstorming for new recipes. So I went straight to the kitchen and started to scan my fridge. What happened next? I found a small bunch of kale sitting next to a pretty cauliflower. The very first thing that came to my mind was a kale version of dal palak. Kale + lentils + few cauliflower florets. Yumminess from scratch.

This lentil kale cauliflower curry packed with nutrition is perfect for those lazy days in the kitchen. All the ingredients in this recipe cook super quick which means you’ll be creating a fabulous curry in no time at all.

Place lentils along with water in a large pan over medium-high heat.

When lentils are cooked, add kale, cauliflower and enough salt. Mix well.

Add ground turmeric, red chili powder and garlic. Mix well. Add more water if needed.

Mix well and cook until vegetables are tender. When done, remove from heat. Set aside.

Next, I’m going to temper spices. Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Splutter cumin seeds.

Add red onion (you can use shallots if you want), dried red chilies and curry leaves.

Fry until onions are browned.

Add tempered spices to the curry. Mix well.
