A comforting and flavorful lentil stew packed with vegetables and spices, perfect for any meal.
Rinse the lentils under cold water and remove any debris.
Rinsing the lentils removes any dust or impurities, ensuring a clean taste.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable broth in a soup pot over medium heat.
Using broth instead of oil keeps the dish low-fat while adding flavor.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from sticking to the pot.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped celery, cooking for another 3 minutes.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Add the curry powder and grated ginger, stirring to release their aromas.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor.
Pour in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and rinsed lentils. Bring to a boil.
Ensure the lentils are fully submerged for even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering uncovered allows the stew to thicken naturally.
Add the chopped cabbage and spinach, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Adding the greens at the end preserves their vibrant color and nutrients.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the chopped cilantro.
Adjust the seasoning gradually to suit your taste.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Pair the stew with crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
