This cozy lentil curry is super yummy for the winter months! Serves really well on a bed of rice, side of broccoli, topped with cilantro, and served with side of naan bread.

• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

5. Stir in coconut milk and veggie broth.
6. Add cauliflower and any additional veggies that are desired.
