Quick & Easy Coconut Brown Lentils (Vegan) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup uncooked lentils (or 1 15-oz can)
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (fine-flake)

Preparation

Wash and sort through the lentils to remove pebbles, bad ones, etc. (If using a can, just rinse and drain.) Bring the coconut milk to a low boil and add the lentils and spices but NOT the shredded coconut.
Loosely cover and let simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils have softened. (If using canned-- this only needs 5-10 minutes for the flavors to impart.).
Fluff up the lentils and mix in the coconut so it adds a nice crunch. Serve with veggies and rice and enjoy.
