Creamy Black Lentil Curry

After being diagnosed with type II diabetes, I decided to eat healthier. Now my wife has type II also, I've been trying a lot of different recipes, and in the spirit of meatless Monday, I decided to try this. I wanted to try the black lentils, as I find the normal Brown ones, well, boring. So I took a couple different recipes and did this.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
