It’s no secret that we absolutely adore curry. We already have a few recipes on our blog, but we felt there was time to add a new vegan one. We connected with our favorite store here in Slovenia, Spar, for this recipe. We bought all the ingredients there, so everything is accessible and affordable. This recipe is simple, keeps you full for hours without having too many calories (less than 200 per portion). We usually serve this Red Lentil Curry with homemade flatbread or basmati rice. Feel free to use ghee and make it vegetarian, or use coconut oil for the vegan version.
