- Add the curry powder to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the rinsed lentils, coconut milk, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow it to simmer for about 25-30 minutes, until the lentils are tender. You can add a bit of water if the curry seems too thick.

Instructions:

- Remove the quinoa from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
