You'll be building layers of flavor by sautéing spices with onion and garlic, then simmering lentils with tomatoes and coconut milk until creamy – all coming together in just 45 minutes. The fun part is topping everything with crunchy pan-fried carrots, optional shrimp, fresh greens, and a squeeze of lime for brightness.

Onion and spices
Melt a spoonful of coconut oil in a large pot and fry the finely chopped onion. Add the finely minced garlic and ginger, stir, then add all the spices. Stir again and let everything sauté together for a minute.

Cook the lentils
Add the rinsed lentils and a whole can of tomatoes. Pour in water and season with salt. Cover with a lid and cook until the lentils are soft – this won't take long. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure there's enough liquid.
