Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

If you have approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to spend in the kitchen, Ethiopian Lentil Curry might be an excellent gluten free and lacto ovo vegetarian recipe to try. One portion of this dish contains about 16g of protein, 6g of fat, and a total of 285 calories. For $1.45 per serving, you get a main course that serves 6. If you have onion, peas, vegetable oil, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. This recipe is typical of Indian cuisine. Only a few people made this recipe, and 3 would say it hit the spot. It is brought to you by Foodista. All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 92%. This score is excellent. If you like this recipe, take a look at these similar recipes: Spicy Ethiopian Red Lentil Stew, Misir Wot- Ethiopian Red Lentil Stew, and Ethiopian s: Mesir Wat Red Lentil Stew with Ayib.

Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Curry. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. One wine you could try is Biltmore Estate Riesling. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.

Biltmore Estate Riesling

Beautifully balanced with sweet apricot aromas, light honey flavors, and a crisp finish.
