Ingredients

    1 cup lentils, washed and cleaned of stones
    2 cups water
    2 cans stewed tomatoes
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 small eggplant, cubed
    1 bunch spinach
    2 tbsp curry powder
    1 tbsp ground coriander seed
    1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
    1 tbsp ground cumin
    1/2 tbsp turmeric
    1 clove finely chopped garlic

Directions

Put lentils, all the spices, and water in slow cooker, cook on high for 1 hour.
After 1 hour lentils will be partially cooked, add all the vegetables.
Check flavor for spices, add more if needed.
Cook until vegetables and lentils reach desired consistency.
Great served over brown rice.


Cooking time will depend on slow cooker and heat setting. Will do well on low setting cooking all day, or should be ready on high after approx 3 hours. Lentils should be completely soft when done.

    I made this without the eggplant, I substituted 1 lg. carrot, 1 stalk celery, and about 1 cup cauliflower, all chopped. I noticed the calorie calculation is done with 1 cup of cooked lentils instead of 1 cup of raw lentils as the recipe calls for. Actual calorie count is closer to 200 per serving. - 5/30/08

    Cooked it with a Pork Tenderloin. Great, didn't have fresh spinach. Used a package of frozen, if I have to do it again I would use half of it. Didn't have egg plant, subbed zucchini, still GREAT - 6/2/08

    What I love about curries is that you can substitute any of the vegetables. I am not the biggest fan of eggplant, but a squash worked just as well. My husband really loves cauliflower and so we added that too. Fun to play around with recipes, especially ones that have all your veggies for the day - 5/30/08

    Used Cauliflower instead of eggplant. It was great. I added a bit more curry and a dash of cayenne as it was not spicy enough for me the first time. - 1/23/12
