Chefs often season chicken curry with lentils and curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Other common ingredients include garlic, ginger, chili powder, and onion.

There are many different variations on the basic chicken lentil curry recipe.

Depending on the tastes of the guests, some chefs decide to add more pepper to the recipe. You can also top the chicken lentil curry with roasted cashews as a garnish.
Different types of lentils can be used as part of a chicken lentil curry, but red lentils are the most common. Red lentils take on a golden color when cooked and become mushy easily during cooking, thus adding a bit of thickness to sauces in which they are used. Brown lentils are another common type sometimes suggested for use in lentil curries, which have a mild flavor and turn mushy when overcooked. Green or puy lentils are generally considered more flavorful than other types of lentils and stay firm longer.
