  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 pinch fenugreek seeds
  • 1 cup dry red lentils
  • 1 cup butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

Heat a substantial amount of oil in a large cooking vessel over an intermediate temperature. Introduce the onion, ginger, garlic, and fenugreek into the pot; cook and stir constantly until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Next, add the lentils, squash, and cilantro to the pot; then stir in water, coconut milk, and tomato paste. Season with curry powder, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes, or until both the lentils and squash are tender.
