Name:

Madras Lentils (John's way)

Description

This is an experiment gone well, so I thought id add it here. A kind of thick curry chili, its meant to be poured on rice or dipped with naan. I slightly "Americanized" it and added more of a chili-like twist on it, since I thought that would taste good

Ingredients
1 lbs ground beef
1 can diced tomatoes (not drained)
1 small can of tomato paste
1 can green chilis
1 yellow onion, diced
1 cup dry green or black lentils (washed)
1 can kidney beans (drained)
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger powder (or paste)
3 tsp red curry or yellow if you dont have red.
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional if staying low calorie)

Instructions
NOTE: I dont measure spices, so I tried to be as accurate as I could. Id just suggest tasting everything after its cooked, and add accordingly
Put it all in a crock pot except the cream on low covered for at least 4 hours (Id recommend more, but you go as long as you want).
I liked it pretty thick, so I made sure to uncover the crockpot to evaporate some of the liquid at the end.
Once its cooked, add the heavy cream, and smush the lentils a bit to make the texture thicker/creamier
Add on top of rice, or with naan
