Pulses are cheap and healthy. Apart from a high level of proteins, lentils also contain dietary fiber, Folate, vitamin B1, and minerals. Red (or pink) lentils contain a lower concentration of fiber than green lentils (11% rather than 31%).

Sounds tasty. I have been making lentils a lot the past few weeks, and all those ingredients sound like they are wonderful compliments to lentils. I’ve never cooked with coconut milk, however.
Looks delicious, and I just found green and red curry paste in a health food market. Which would you use?
In fact I use Indian curry paste for this dish but if you use a Thai paste, I’d sya the red one is better.
