Spicy Curried Lentils
This might not be the most appetizing dish, but it's for sure one of my favorite dishes. Spicy, thick, creamy, saucy, healthy and easy. I love to have a big plate of these lentils after a big workout, as it's extra rich in protein it'll for sure help you grow your booty! But that's not it, it's so delicious and I'd enjoy this recipe after a lazy day anyway.
