Lentil and Spinach Curry

I really enjoyed this. I made it because my husband wanted to try something Indian inspired and it was Ash Wednesday which means no meat. He liked it except for the onions because he is not an onion fan. When I make this again I will have to omit the onions.

1 cup of red lentils
2 cups of water
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp of ginger, grated
2 tbsp of olive oil
2 tsp of curry powder

Chopped spinach

4. Add the lentils and water and bring to a simmer
