Serving
Cooking Time
Difficulty
- 450 gCreamy Coconut Aamti Sauce
- 1 cupcooked yellow lentils
- 1 cupchopped mixed vegetables
- 1 tbspOil
- 2 tbspSalt
- 2 tbspfresh cilantro leaves
- 1Cook the Veggies First
Heat one tablespoon of oil or butter in a medium-sized pan on medium heat. Once it’s warm, add your chopped veggies. You can use any mix—carrots, beans, peas, or whatever you have at home. Sprinkle a little salt to help them cook faster. Let the veggies cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir them now and then so they don’t stick. You want them to be soft but not mushy.
- 2Add the Cooked Lentils
Once the veggies are soft, add your 1 cup of cooked yellow lentils to the pan. Mix everything gently. This brings the veggies and lentils together, ready for the sauce. If your lentils are cold from the fridge, just warm them up in the pan for a minute.
- 3Pour in the Creamy Coconut Aamti Sauce
Now, open your bottle of Indian Pantry’s Creamy Coconut Aamti Sauce. Pour the full amount into the pan over the lentils and veggies. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it a little. Stir everything slowly. Make sure the sauce covers all the veggies and lentils. Let it simmer gently on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. This helps the flavors come together beautifully.
- 4Add Fresh Cilantro and Serve
When the curry is hot and smells amazing, turn off the heat. Sprinkle a handful of chopped cilantro on top for that fresh, herby finish. Now it’s ready! Serve it hot with steamed rice, roti, or crispy dosa. It’s cozy, flavorful, and tastes like a warm hug in a bowl.
Extra Tips
- Want some protein? Add tofu, shrimp, or boiled eggs to the curry.
- Don’t have lentils? Use canned chickpeas or cooked kidney beans instead.
- Feel free to use only veggies if that’s what you prefer.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day. Just warm it up and enjoy again.
