Crockpot Curried Red Lentils

 2 cups red lentils, picked and rinsed
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
1 (14 oz) can coconut milk

Place onion, garlic, ginger, and all the spices in the bowl of a food processor (or blender). Pulse until a smooth paste forms. You may need to stop the food processor a few times to scrape the sides to ensure everything gets blended.
Lightly grease the bowl of the slow cooker, add lentils, spice paste, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth.

Give a good stir and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, until the lentils are soft and the flavors come together.
When cooked, add coconut milk, give a good stir, take a taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
