Everyone has those days. You know the ones I’m talking about. Where everything just seems to go wrong. It started with you locking your keys in your car and then it just spiraled. And now there’s aliens taking over the earth and the zombie overlords have overthrown the government. Yeah, we’ve all been there.

On those days we just need something comforting, warming, and easy. Which is where this vegan Golden Lentil Curry comes in. It takes less than half an hour to make, requires only a handful of ingredients, and uses only one pot. Who wants to do more dishes than they need to when the aliens are having a raid again?

The main ingredient is red lentils, making this a great plant-based protein packed lunch or dinner. With 9 grams of protein per 35 g serving of lentils, this meal will help to power you through whatever life throws at you next. I like to pair this with some brown rice or quinoa for a bit of extra protein. You could also serve it with naan bread for dipping. Drizzle over some coconut cream and dive into a bowl of warming comfort.


This is also perfect for meal prepping. It holds up well in the fridge and tastes even better the next day. You can also freeze it for future use. I always like to keep a batch handy in the freezer just in case the lizard people descend.
