Notes
Prefer soaking lentils for about an hour to shorten the cooking time
You can use heavy coconut cream, but I wanted this curry to remain light
According to your heat source, the cooking time may vary.
You can opt to mix this curry to have a smooth curry soup. But's so good and flavorful to chew the veggies.
Store the remaining curry in the fridge for up to 5 days.
