Author:Guiseppe
1 tbsp Olive Oil (or Peanut Oil)
1 small Onion (chopped)
1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
1 clove Garlic (chopped)
1 pinch Fenugreek Seeds
1 cup Dry Red Lentils
1 cup Butternut Squash (peeled seeded, cubed)
⅓ cup Cilantro (finely chopped)
2 cups Water
7 oz Coconut Milk
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tsp Curry Powder
1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
1 pinch Nutmeg (ground)
Salt and Ground Black Pepper
Sauté the Aromatics. In a large pot over medium heat, heat the peanut oil. Add the chopped onion, ginger, garlic, and fenugreek seeds. Cook for 4–5 minutes, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Add the Base Ingredients. Stir in the red lentils, cubed butternut squash, and cilantro. Add the water, coconut milk, and tomato paste.
Season and Simmer. Stir in the curry powder, cayenne, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
Simmer Until Tender. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils and squash are soft and the soup is thick and creamy.
Serve and Enjoy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, garnished with extra cilantro, chili flakes, or a swirl of coconut milk if desired.
