Basic Curry

Dal with jasmine rice and experimental Tom-Yam marinated tofu

In a large pot, saute onions and garlic in water or oil until soft.

Add things like curry powder, ginger, masala spice mixes, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cayenne pepper....

Cook a little more, adding water or oil as needed.
Maybe add some tomatoes or tomato paste.

Add vegetable broth or water, then more veggies and/or pre-cooked/canned beans.

If adding dry lentils, bring to a boil before simmering.

Simmer 40  minutes or so, stirring occasionally.  Or transfer to slow cooker and cook on low however long you need to.  Salt to taste.  Serve with rice, quinoa, or other grain.  Or vegan naan bread!
