Ingredients:

  1. 2 Bay Leaves
  2. 1/2 Cup (1 Stick) Butter, softened
  3. 1/8 tsp Ground Cardamom
  4. 2 Cups Chopped Carrots
  5. 1 Cup Chopped Celery
  6. 2 Cinnamon Sticks
  7. 15oz Can Garbanzo Beans
  8. 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
  9. 4 Cups Dried Mixed Lentils, rinsed
  10. 2 Cups Dried Mung Beans, rinsed
  11. 2 Baking Potatoes, cubed
  12. 1 tsp Turmeric
  13. 10 Cups Water

Curry Sauce:

  1. Chili Powder to taste
  2. 1 Tbsp Garam Masala
  3. 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Paste
  4. 1/2 Tbsp Ginger Paste
  5. 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Directions:

  1. Place all of the mixed lentils ingredients into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

  5. Add the garam masala and chili powder, if desired, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
