Instructions

Step 1
Begin by washing and chopping the bell pepper, carrot, and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic and ginger for a base of rich flavors.2
Step 2
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and ginger, sautéing until they turn golden and emit a delightful aroma.3
Step 3
To the pot, add the chopped bell pepper, carrot, and cauliflower along with your choice of spices. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly and the spices to release their flavors.4
Step 4
Next, incorporate the lentils, coconut milk, and a sprinkle of brown sugar into the pot. Stir thoroughly and bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring the lentils cook evenly.5
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the stew cook gently for about 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.6
Step 6
Finish the dish by seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, for an added touch of freshness.
