Green Lentil and Vegetable Curry Recipe

If you are looking for a complete, balanced, vegetarian and healthy dish, then this great green lentil and vegetable curry recipe is for you! In addition, at the moment we always see the same vegetables at the market so this recipe will allow you to vary a little…

This dish will give you everything you need for a complete meal: the lightly spiced and fragrant vegetables, the lentils for protein, and the brown rice for the fiber and energy you’ll need to get through the day.

I made this recipe for the first time when I was balancing my food diet and since then I haven’t been without it, a bit like my chickpea curry. To serve your plate, add half of the vegetables, a quarter of lentils and a quarter of brown rice.

For the more gourmands among you, you can even serve it with homemade cheese naans which you can even make with semi-wholemeal flour if you want to stay in a healthier version.

To make this lentil curry, choose vegetables according to the season. To do this, favor local producers when you go to the market and do not hesitate to also consult my seasonal fruits and vegetables calendar.

When I prepare this type of dish, I like to make a good quantity so that I also have some for my lunch boxes that I take to work.
