This stewed beans of deliciously tasty lentils is rich and creamy with deep flavors of the spices of northern India! It is a 30 -minute white beans stew with 30 minutes with uniform lentils that you can serve alone or with rice, focaccia or naan. Of course gluten -free, without soy and walnuts.

I wanted to create a 1 -pan lentil bean stews using the flavor profiles of my chicken chicken recipes and Angara. This super easy and abundant hob recipe is adapted by my herb lentil and chickpea stew by incorporating those incredible spices of northern India to that 1-poot format.
This is a quick recipe once you have all the spices together and it is also super flexible. If you don’t have all the spices, it will still be absolutely delicious. Just add more garam masala or curry powder. See recipe notes for alternative flavor options.

You can also use different beans or chickpeas in this stew. I use divided red lentils, but also brown lentils and small yellow lentils work well, as well as any other quick cooking lentil. If you are using brown whole lentils, the cooking time will almost double, then be careful.

This is a stew of super relaxing and delicious fagili lentils. You can adjust the flavors to preferences, such as bending a bit of garam Masala or curry dust at the end to deepen the flavor. Basically, make it yours.
