Thank you Half-baked Harvest for this superb recipe. Click here for the original non-Thermomix recipe.

This healthy, Vegan coconut, quinoa, and lentil curry with lime mango is one of the easiest meals you’ll ever make. All you have to do is toss practically all the ingredients in the Thermomix and let it cook!

It takes less than an hour to make (mostly hands-off time) and is packed full of delicious flavors. It’s a healthy vegan recipe that makes a perfect meatless Monday dinner recipe. This might not be the prettiest meal that I’ve ever made, but it is one of the tastiest!

  1. Hi, a few questions – thanks for this recipe, it looks really interesting, but I’m unsure what to do with the lentils and quinoa after step 5 – is the rice basket removed from the bowl before adding the kale and do the lentils and quinoa then go back into the bowl in step 7… and is the ‘juice’ the lemon juice (and zest)??

    • Hi Kate, thank you for getting in touch. So after step 5, I removed the simmering basket, added the kale to the main bowl and then added the basket again. Though I am sure you could just keep it all aside. Add the lemon juice at step 7, and then lime juice at step 8. Enjoy! It’s lovely x
