Lentil curry

1 1/2 cuplentilsrinsed and picked over
1/2 large oniondiced
2 tablespoonbutter
1 tablespooncurry paste
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlicminced
1 teaspoon gingerminced
1 14-ounce can tomato puree or chopped tomatoes
2 c water
3 sliced carrots
lemon or lime (juice and pour on right before its served)

Optional- can add coconut milk, but I didnt have any

1.  Cook the lentils according to directions. Drain and set aside.
2.  Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes until fragrant and golden. Add all the spices (curry paste, curry powder, turmeric, cayenne, sugar, garlic, ginger) and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomato puree; stir and simmer until smooth.
3. Add the lentils and the water or cream. Stir to combine and simmer for another 15-20 minutes (the longer, the better)! Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro.

I served with rice on the side and a Dad salad (1 washed whole romaine lettuce leaf for each person).

It actually was even better the next day, so delicious to me! The kids didn't love it.
