- 10 g spirulina flakes
- 150g red lentils or yellow lentils
- 1–2 shallots
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp Madras curry
- 0.5 lemon
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of pepper
Instructions
- Cook the red lentils in a pot with approximately twice the amount of water over medium heat until soft (about 15 minutes). Finally, drain off any excess water.

Tips
The spices can be adjusted to taste, for example with paprika or chili. Yellow lentils can also be used instead of red lentils, as they have a similar cooking time. Larger lentils will take longer to cook, so it is recommended to soak them beforehand.
