Chicken and Lentil Curry With Cucumber Yogurt Recipe

Directions:

1. Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until sizzling. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is almost absorbed, about 8 minutes.
2. Add garlic, curry powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pepper. Cook until onion starts to turn golden brown and spices are fragrant.
3. Add broth, tomato sauce, lentils, and bay leaves.
4. Add chicken breasts.
5. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, combine yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
7. Remove and discard bay leaves from curry. Transfer to serving bowls. Serve with a dollop of cucumber yogurt and mango chutney (if using). Garnish with cilantro leaves (if using).
