So here’s the deal with soaking lentils.
Not only does it help speed up the cooking process, it also reduces the phytic acid content in the lentils. And less phytic acid equals increased nutrient bioavailability, specifically for zinc and iron. Quick note that hulled lentils have a lot less phytic acid than unhulled lentils, even if you don’t soak them overnight.
Secondly, for a dish like this, I don’t like to cook the lentils separately and instead cook them directly in the curry so they absorb all the flavors and spices.
