Add the zucchini, carrots, green onion, and garlic. Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables, and stir fry until cooked through about 5 minutes. Set aside until the lentils are ready. 4 Drain the lentils and transfer to the skillet. Pour in the coconut beverage stirring to combine. Cut the green part of the green onions into 1-inch pieces. Stir into the mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with cilantro or dried unsweetened coconut.

About

Curry seasonings are blended with coconut for an easy mid week meal. To cut down on fat and calories, use coconut beverage, not the coconut milk you find in a can. You can find it at the grocery store in the same section as the almond milk or soy milk.
