Instructions
- In a slow cooker (6 quart or larger), add onions, carrots, garlic, broth, tomato paste, dry lentils, curry powder, garam masala, red chili flakes, salt, pepper, bay leaves and mix everything together.
- Cover and cook on High heat for 4-5 hours or until lentils are tender.

Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave or stovetop. The lentils will absorb a lot of the broth and you may need to add a little more broth or water to thin it to your desired consistency again.
