When I was in Thailand in 2019, I couldn't get enough of curry! Since then, I've been cooking all kinds of curries and trying my hand at them. This vegan yellow curry with lentils is a simple and protein-rich recipe for a delicious lunch or dinner. It consists of a combination of lentils, chickpeas, tofu and vegetables fried in coconut oil and then mixed with yellow curry paste and coconut milk. The dish is filling and full of flavor.
