📝 Preparation Steps
1
Spread the lentils out on a baking sheet to make them easier to see. Pick out any stones or debris. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a sauce pot, then add the lentils. Allow the pot to come back up to a boil, then turn the heat to low, place a lid on top, and simmer for ⏱️ 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain the cooked lentils in a colander.

Meanwhile, mince the garlic and finely dice the onion and carrots. Sauté the onion, garlic, and carrots in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until the onions are transparent (about ⏱️ 5 minutes). Add the curry powder and sauté for one minute more.
