For a richer flavor, sauté a finely chopped onion and a clove of garlic in a bit of coconut oil before adding the lentils and water. Adjust the amount of curry paste to suit your spice preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste. If you don't have cream of coconut, full-fat coconut milk can be used as a substitute, though the sauce might be slightly less thick. A squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end brightens the flavors beautifully. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of plain yogurt for added freshness and tang.
