2. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 more minutes
3. Add in the water, coconut milk, coconut nectar, curry powder, cinnamon and ground coriander.
4. Stir in the lentils and allow them to cook for 10-15 minutes, they will become tender as they absorb the liquid. Stir frequently and enjoy the aroma as the curry becomes fragrant.
5. Once the lentils have become soft, stir in the pink salt, pepper and parsley.
