Creamy Lentil Curry

Lentil curry! Not only is this a comforting meal but its perfect for Meatless Mondays. I love using a medley of lentils to make this creamy dish with spices, herbs, tomato, and garlic. Even though this meal is vegetarian – it’s loaded with protein and fibre making it a nutritious meal for the whole family.  I used the instant pot to pressure cook the dry lentils – you can also use a pressure cooker if you don’t have an instant pot.
