Thai red lentil curry with spinach and pumpkin (Vegan)
This Thai lentil curry is nutritious, creamy and completely vegan! The coconut milk adds subtle sweetness to the curry and gives it a luxurious and creamy texture.
I ate many curries in my life, and this is one of my all-time favorites! It’s a quick red lentil curry (only 30 minutes) and the color of the red lentils with spinach and pumpkin looks beautiful on your plate.
You can serve this curry with rice or my Indian naan. It will make a great vegetarian meal.
No pumpkin? Use sweet potato instead. It’s really tasty too!
Tighten your apron and start cooking. Enjoy!
