1 small red bell pepper.
Half small yellow onion.
One small carrot.
How many ever garlic cloves you think, but I used 2 large and it was delicious 😇
1 tbsp turmeric powder.
1 tspn ginger powder.
1/2 tspn curry powder.
1/2 cup red lentils.
2 tspn brown sugar.
Salt.
1 cup water.
Sautee pepper, onion, carrot on medium low heat with some salt and oil, lid on, for about 4- 5 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 more minute. Add spices, lentils and sugar, stir. Add water and bring to boil. Once boiling, reduce to low (about 2-3 on my stove) I think it took about 10-12 minutes until it was ready to be pureed. Once the lentils are completely soft, puree until smooth.
Pan fried potatoes.
2 large potatoes (these are gold yukon)
1 tbsn fresh thyme.
1/4-1/2cup cornstarch
Salt
Canola/grqpeseed oil
Slice the potatoes length wise, about 1/3″ thick. Boil 6 minutes or fork pierces through. I mashed the thyme in my mortal and pestle. Drain water, and coat with cornstarch. I used about a 1/4 cup. Maybe more. Put them all in a bowl with a lid and shook to coat. Fried in grapeseed/canola blend at medium high heat, for probably almost 4 minutes each side. Topped each side with thyme.
Baked sweet potato
Set oven to 400* and pierce sweet potato with fork. Wrap tightly in tin foil. Put in oven, and set timer for an hour and 10 minutes. When soft, top with butter and salt.

Dear OP – people are giving you shit (rightfully) because this is an incredibly unbalanced meal. There aren’t any proteins or healthy fats to sustain feeling full, and without more fiber you get a huge glucose spike from this meal.
A tip – try to make your calories more rounded! if you have a starchy carb, add a protein like tofu or edamame. if you don’t have a protein, add a leafy green for fiber to help blood sugar levels.
The message overall is being a vegetarian is sometimes hard due to the lack of protein-dense options and it’s important to do it responsibly for your own health, and this would not be considered a responsible vegetarian meal.

As others have stated, there’s mostly carbs on your plate, but there’s also some protein – lentils and rice together make a complete protein. Don’t know about the amount in grams or how it fits into your daily needs. But for all we know, you’ve had a protein-heavy day and just wanted a plate of carbs. I think it looks tasty and it’s something I’d eat if I’ve had my protein for the day.

Beautiful plating! I’d add something green for color contrast, like a sprinkle of green onions or a drizzle of mint cilantro chutney

Half cup lentils: 8.9 grams
1 cup white rice: 4.3
75% of a medium white potato: 2.4
50% of a sweet potato: 1.5
Small red bell pepper: 0.7
**Total protein: 17.8 grams**
It’s not a lot, but it’s really fine for one meal, guys.
