Lentil and Cauliflower Curry
Enjoy this quick and simple healthy curry modified from another JShealth recipe. You can easily add chicken to this if you feel like it, however the lentils provide a lot of protein as is.
Serves: 2-3
Ingredients

- 1 -2 brown onions, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander stalks
- ½ tbsp curry powder
