Lentil Daal Curry
Ingredients
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
● 2 medium onions, finely diced
● 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
● 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
● 1 tablespoon mild red curry paste
● 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
● 2 teaspoons tomato paste
● a pinch or two of salt and pepper
● 3 large organic carrots, peeled and diced
● 1 large fresh organic red bell pepper, diced
● 1 1/2 cup split red lentils
● 5 cups vegetable stock (use chicken stock if you prefer)
● 1 cup full fat coconut milk
● 2 large handfuls fresh baby spinach
● fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
● extra coconut cream for garnish, if desired
Instructions
1. Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
2. Add the onions, ginger, and garlic and saute until fragrant and soft.
3. Add the curry paste, turmeric, tomato paste, and salt and pepper, and stir to combine, allowing the mixture to toast slightly over the heat for about one minute.
4. Add the carrots, red bell pepper, and lentils and stir to coat in the spice mixture.
5. Pour in the vegetable stock and stir well, covering the pan and allowing the mixture to come to a boil.
6. Cook the lentil mixture for about 20-25 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent the bottom from burning, until the lentils are puffy and soft and begin to lose their shape.
7. Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk and spinach, stirring just until combined.
8. Cover and allow the spinach to wilt for a few minutes in the hot curry.
9. Serve over steamed rice

Autism presents much differently in girls than boys. 😳
The popular perception of autism is a very male version — girls and women with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) can have very different symptoms than males. This can lead to many girls and women never being diagnosed with ASD because their symptoms have not been studied to the same degree. 🤦♀️ It can also create a life filled with confusion, mystery, and frustration over an inability to function like most other people. 😓 Girls and women with ASD are frequently diagnosed with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, or ADHD.
One reason girls might go undiagnosed is because they are much better at “masking,” or hiding their symptoms and mimicking neurotypical behavior. 💔 This is believed to be due to girls’ greater desire and ability to connect socially. However, masking takes an enormous mental and physical toll in the way of chronic stress and exhaustion, which can lead to the sensory overloads and “meltdowns” typical of the disorder. 👉 Unfortunately, symptoms of autism, such as not understanding social cues and being very literal, can make girls more vulnerable to bullies and predators. Diagnosis is extremely important in girls and women with ASD. ♥ Ask our office for support with taking a holistic approach. ... See MoreSee Less
