Red curry lentils is my all-time favorite lentil recipe. Thick, creamy, saucy, and perfect as leftovers. Plus it’s healthy and easy!

Red curry lentils is one of my favorites! This version is so simple - just toss everything in the crockpot. Easy, healthy, and full of flavor.

Crockpot Red Curry Lentils

regular brown lentils (I used maasor lentils this time)

onions, diced

ginger

butter (optional)

tomato puree (29 ounces each)

salt

Rinse the lentils and place them in a large crockpot. Add the diced onions, garlic, ginger, butter, curry paste, garam masala, turmeric, sugar, and cayenne. Stir to combine.

Pour just 1 can of tomato puree over the lentils. Re-fill the can with water twice and add to the crockpot. Stir to make sure that the lentils are covered with liquid. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8 hours.

Check once or twice during cooking to add more water or tomato puree if the lentils are soaking up all the liquid. The amount of water or tomato puree you add depends on how soupy your want your lentils to be. For me, 1 1/2 cans of tomato puree plus the two cans of water was perfect. Taste and season with salt. Lentils will be soft when they are done cooking.

Stir in the coconut milk and sprinkle with cilantro just before serving. Serve over rice or naan bread.

sounds delish!  think i'll have it with paratha!

Crockpot Red Lentil Curry

These warm and hearty, red curry lentils are easy to make in one pot and full of delicious Thai-inspired flavour. This recipe is perfect for meal prep as the flavours only improve with time.

Thai Red Curry Lentils

tbsp olive or coconut oil,

white onion, diced

tbsp fresh ginger, minced

tbsp red curry paste

14 oz can light or full-fat coconut milk

vegetable broth

tbsp coconut sugar

gluten-free tamari or soy sauce

red lentils

carrots, chopped, approx. 1.5 cups

green pepper, diced, approx. 1 cup

lime

optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water or vegetable broth, add as needed to adjust thickness

cooked brown or basmati rice

Heat the oil in a large pot. For an oil-free recipe, omit the oil and use 2 tbsp of water or vegetable stock to saute the veggies.

Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add a bit more water, if it pan starts to try out.

Stir in the red curry paste and cook for two more minutes, stirring.

Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer lightly for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and lentils and soft and tender. If it gets too thick as it&#8217;s cooking, add a little additional water or stock to adjust the consistency.

Serve over cooked brown or basmati rice, topped with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.

Our family love lentils and this recipe looks delish...Im waiting for summer to be over so I can feel the holidays.too. Thank you.

This was easy to make, very delicious and hearty enough that I did not need rice or quinoa?  Will definitely be keeping this on rotation.

Very easy and very nourishing!!! My son helped me chop everything up! We cleaned our bowels. :) 

So good! One of my go-tos bc the ingredients are so simple

IP Red Curry Lentils Step 3

Yay! So excited to see one of my favorites converted to the IP! Question, what lentils works best with this? I have been shortcutting with Trader Joes precooked lentils for so long, I don't have a clue where to start with dried lentils!

Can this be done in a crock pot? If so, what should i do diferently?

I wish I had known this lol! it was DELICIOUS but definitely mushy. Can't wait to try it again with brown lentils! I'm v new to the world of lentils for sure

Made this today and it was perfect! There is nothing about it I’d change. Delicious!

Oh!It's really perfect recipe for Me. Because I love lentil's. Thanks for this great curry recipe.

Same here. Got the burn message three times in a row. Could not fix it. No mention of this in the recipe.

This Red Curry Lentils recipe is fabulous! As a variation, I substitute freekah for 1/2 the lentils to vary texture and nutrition. I served over baked potatoes pieces as substitute for rice.

Made this last night so I could have healthy lunches at work this week - really yummy. Good to have another reason to pull out the instantpot.

I could not believe how delicious this was. My husband loved it too. Thank you so much for another great recipe.

Just made this recipe, fabulous!  I cut up mangoes with it, yummy

Thank you for this wonderful recipe and easy to follow instructions! I made this last Sunday and it turned out delicious, all my family loved it! Highly recommend this. My wife was pretty impressed that the instant pot sautéed like that. I ran out of red lentils so used green lentils and added two sweet potatoes too. Pinned!

This recipe turned out perfect exactly as written, which makes me very happy! I served it with flat bread, basmati rice and thin strips of carrot and cucumber. I feel like the lentils are delicious enough on their own though. Thank you Pinch of Yum!

Guess what’s for dinner? Creamy, spicy, delicious red curry lentils, made in the Instant Pot. This is the BEST easy, filling, healthy dinner!

Making a dal or stewy lentil dish is something you should do weekly. It's cheap, quick, low effort and great for stretching over a few meals.

Sweet Potato

Onion

Fresh Ginger

Garlic Clove

Lemongrass Stalk

Cumin Seeds

Thai Red Curry Paste

Milk

Vegetable Stock

Red Lentils

Lime

Salt

Black Pepper

Heat the oven to 180°C. Peel and dice the sweet potato into 2cm pieces, then put on a baking tray and drizzle with half the oil, salt and pepper. Pop into the oven for 20 mins. 

Peel and finely chop the onion, then peel and chop the ginger and garlic. Remove the outer layers of the lemongrass, bash with the back of a knife and chop into two pieces. 

Heat the remaining oil in a large pot over a medium heat and add the onion, garlic, ginger and lemongrass. Cook for 5-10 mins until soft and slightly golden. Add the cumin seeds and fry for 30 seconds, then add the curry paste and cook for 2-3 mins until fragrant. 

Add the coconut milk and stock. Rinse the lentils, then add them too and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 mins. Once the dal is cooked, add back in the cooked sweet potato and squeeze in the juice of the limes to taste.

To serve, divide between bowls and enjoy. Optional: if batch-cooking these lentils for the week, portion out into Tupperware containers and keep in the fridge.

I think I just fell in love with lentils? This was insanely good. Followed the recipe exactly (but made sure to get spicy, super authentic curry paste) and came out with at least 14 portions from the 8x serving size. Loaded up the freezer.

In the process of cooking this one and it is smelling amazing but I did get a bit thrown off by whether the lentils in question are pre-cooked or dried. I went for dried and assumed the weight was pre-cooked so reduced quantities!
