Add the Spices

Sprinkle in your favorite curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Stir everything together and let the spices toast for a minute or so to release their flavors.

Cook the Lentils

Add your lentils of choice to the pot and give everything a good stir. Pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the lentils and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the lentils are tender.
