Introduction
This is a re-make of a wonderful stove top recipe (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=292988). I ended up substituting spices as I didn't have turmeric or cumin, but did have garam masala powder. Slow cooker/crock pot works well in my tiny kitchen.

Ingredients
-
2 c lentils
3 1/4 c bullion of choice
1 c water
2 t coriander, ground
2 t curry powder
2 t garam masala powder
2 t chopped garlic
1 large onion (about 2 3/4c chopped)
2 c chopped carrot
2 15 oz (425g) cans pumpkin
Tips
You can use broth or stock instead of bullion & lower sodium, I just happen to have bullion in my cupboards. Using veg stock/bullion will make this recipe vegan. We enjoy this with either salsa (fruit salsas are especially good) or a tiny bit of maple sugar.
Directions
Warm spices in dry pan for a minute or so then add 1/4 c bullion, onions, carrots, & garlic, and saute until onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
Rinse & drain lentils, then put in slow cooker with the rest of the bullion & water. Add the pumpkin & the rest of the ingredients.
Heat on high for 3-4hrs or low for 6-7 hrs.
Serving Size: 10 one cup servings
