It’s kinda ironic that most people believe the vegan diet is expensive, in reality if you are buying Whole Foods you can maneuver to lower food costs with items like beans and simple tricks like shopping at stores that offer bulk beans, spices etc. I have the total breakdown for you all below! Let me know if you like this series and hope you love the recipe!
Begin by sautéing your onion and garlic until fragrant in 1 tablespoon of your oil of choice. Top with 1/2 tbsp garam masala and 1/2 tbsp curry powder. Mix well, sauté for an additional minute, then top with your lentils! Mix well and lower heat. While the lentils are toasting, add your whole tomatoes and cashews to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Add the blended mixture to your lentils and top with your water, chickpeas, the rest of the seasoning blend (remaining garam masala, curry powder, bay leaves, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, bouillon), and ginger root. Note: brown sugar and spinach are excluded from this addition for final topping. Cover your pot and allow to cook at a low simmer for 25 minutes or just until tender, stirring periodically. Top/serve as desired with spinach, brown sugar, cilantro, green onion, lime, and optional yogurt. Enjoy!
