"This is a good vegan dish that's best served over quinoa, but rice is good too. Serve with plenty of chutney and naan on the side!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and serrano peppers and cook until the onion has softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Mix in the garlic, ginger, cinnamon stick, curry powder, ground coriander, salt & pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes more.
Step 2
Pour in water, coconut milk and molasses. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then add the lentils and cook until tender (15-20 minutes). Stir frequently as the lentils cook to keep them from sticking. Be careful not to overcook because the lentils will quickly lose shape and turn to a paste.
Step 3
Once lentils are done, remove from heat and stir in the minced cilantro. Check for seasoning and add more salt & pepper, if needed.
