Aubergine, Courgette and Lentil Curry

September 15, 2015 By Hana 10 Comments

Aubergine, Courgette and Lentil Curry

So excited to share this recipe for this Aubergine, Courgette and Lentil Curry with you today, it’s just amazing! Just what we need as the autumn approaches, warm and cozy bowls of goodness. This curry is bursting with nutrition from all the vegetables, spices and herbs and if you enjoy the taste as much as me, you will want to make it over and over again.

Aubergine, Courgette and Lentil Curry

I have adapted this recipe from The Art of Eating Well by Hemsley Hemsley, only have changed few things to suit my needs and my style of cooking. It’s a simple recipe, all of the ingredients cook quickly and it will only take at most an hour to be ready.

You could even add few leafy greens towards the end if you’d like to make it even more healthy. Serve the curry on it’s own with lots of fresh coriander and lime or with your favourite grain or bread.

    H – thanks for the yummy bowl of this that you gave me earlier this week – the culinary highlight of my week!! I made my own version last night and it was really good but not quite as good as yours! I didn’t have any fresh turmeric and also didn’t have much fresh coriander – more coriander was needed I think… A great recipe anyway and one I’ll continue with over the autumn/winter months! Txx

      Hi Toni, it would be better if you just use 150g red lentils, because they need different time cooking and I think the red ones work much better in this recipe. Just use less water and it should be fine.

      Hi Susan, I’m so happy to hear that! It’s a lovely one, isn’t it?! Yes, definitely, it will be fine in the freezer. I can’t remember if I ever put this one to the freezer but I regularly freeze curries and stews, I tend to make large batches. xx

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨
