We love our Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Lentils. DID YOU KNOW…lentils were one of the first domesticated crops? And if you pair then with sweet potatoes and curry powder they are one of the most delicious things on the planet?

This recipe is budget friendly and can be used with pantry staples. The coconut milk makes the dish nice and creamy. You can make this in the slow cooker on low, set it and forget it until you come home from work or you can throw together the ingredients at lunch time if you work near your kitchen and cook the lentil curry all afternoon on high and have it ready for dinner. All you need to do is add the coconut milk at the very end and prepare rice to go along with this tasty Coconut Curry Lentils dinner.

Update during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yum. Still using pantry staples while locked in. Lentil curry recipe on our website. Didn’t have any more sweet potatoes so I skipped it and just added more carrots. Used up all my curry powder so I added cumin also.

We love our lentils and hope you do also. Take a look at some of our favorite lentil recipes:
