Introduction

Whatever I've got handy goes in! Whatever I've got handy goes in!
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1/2 large white onion
    1 cup chopped carrots (I usually use the prepeeled bagged kinds when they're on sale)
    2 c red lentils
    1 can diced tomatoes
    1 can chickpeas
    2 tbsp curry powder (Lahore brand is good)
    3 tbsp toasted ground cumin seeds
    5 small cloves garlic
    Large pinch jerk seasoning

Directions

Slice onion into whatever size pieces you like, they'll be mush after going in the crockpot. Combine with cumin and garlic, heat in nonstick pan till translucent and browned in spots. Add to crockpot. Drain chickpeas and add to everything else in crockpot. Don't drain tomatoes. And rinse the lentils really well! The cheap brand I get at the local Indian store is always full of rocks.
Add about 1 cup water and cook on 'high' for 2 hours then 'low' for about 4 hours. Makes 8 very generous servings.
