Directions
Cook lentils in 1.5 cups of water or your favourite broth, by bringing the water to a boil and then simmering loosely covered over ,edit heat (nutrition info of broth not included, I use water and add some cracked cardamom pods and 1/8 tsp nutmeg).
While the lentils cook, prepare the vegetables: chop/ dice everything, and puree the zucchini and tomatoes in a food processor.
In a separate pot, heat the olive oil then add the garlic and coriander, sauté until fragrant.
Add the diced bell peppers and carrots, cover, and leave it to soften as you prepare the mushrooms. Add chopped mushroom to the pot. Cover, prepare zucchini, add. Prepare tomatoes, add. Cover and let everything cook over medium heat.
In a separate larger pot, heat the coconut milk with all the spices ( feel free to experiment), stir and be careful it do not burn. When hot and starring to bubble, add the vegetable mixture. Stir and mix thoroughly. Then add the lentils. Cook for a couple of minutes.
