Description

Wowzers! This coconut curried lentil purée is good! I made it for my baby, but ate it for my own lunch instead-right out of the blender. I'm talking seriously yummy here.

This earthy vegetarian purée is loaded with fiber, iron, and protein, and can be served smooth or chunky.

I like to introduce it as a smooth purée, then reserve some of the lentils from the pot, adding them back in after I blend the rest of the ingredients for some additional thickness.

Serve with toasted pita and a sprinkle of cilantro for a more grown-up meal.

Notes

TIP The key ingredient in most curry spice blends? Turmeric! Golden, peppery, and warm, turmeric and its main active component curcumin offer numerous health benefits.

As a potent anti-inflammatory, turmeric assists in reducing pain and disease in every system of the body, including the digestive system, heart, lungs, and brain.
