Pour in the vegetable broth. Add in the lentils and the crushed tomatoes and mix well. (If using water instead of broth it might need a little more salt)

* Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked through and have mostly softened.

* Step 5

Remove the lid and stir in the coconut milk, almond butter, along with salt and pepper to taste Continue cooking on low heat, uncovered for 5 to 8 minutes, until the curry has thickened and is creamy.
