Instructions

Curry

Step 1

Skim a couple tbsp of coconut fat from the top of the can and use that to fry the onions till soft. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another couple minutes, then add the spices and mix everything on medium heat for a minute. Add the coconut milk, broth, and lentils and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until everything is soft. If necessary, add water to keep it from drying out. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Rice

Step 2

Melt butter, add cumin seeds, and fry them for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the rice and mix everything together and continue to fry for about a minute, then add the water. Cover and turn up the heat till the water boils, then turn it down so that the rice is barely simmering for 8-10 minutes and the water has mostly been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
