Curry lentils with rice. The ultimate Thai in your home!
This #yummylegumes recipe will make you see lentils with a different eye.
The basic ingredients you will need to prepare it are beluga lentils, tomato, onion, pepper, carrot and curry.
For me, rice is the perfect side dish for this dish.
When is this food tastiest?
Although it is delicious hot when first cooked, this dish is much tastier if cooked in the morning and eaten several hours later or even the next day (after a full day in the fridge). The reason is because they have time for the ingredients to bond well together and for the flavors and aromas to mix well.
How long you can keep them in the fridge?
You can put them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can also put them in the freezer.
