2 | 1 medium onion, chopped (about 150 g) |
3 | 2 cloves garlic, minced |
4 | 1 medium carrot, diced (about 100 g) |
5 | 1 medium potato, diced (about 150 g) |
6 | 400 ml vegetable broth |
7 | 200 ml coconut milk (light for fewer calories) |

9 | 1 tsp ground cumin |
10 | 1 tsp smoked paprika |
11 | Salt and pepper, to taste |

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Lentils: Rinse the lentils under cold water and set them aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In a medium pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and potato, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add Lentils and Spices: Stir in the rinsed lentils, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in Broth and Coconut Milk: Add the vegetable broth and coconut milk to the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook the Stew: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally and check if more liquid is needed; you can add a bit more broth or water if necessary.
Season and Serve: Once cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
