Curry, chicken or vegan?

We love curry spices and make our blend using this link  http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/curry-powder-blend-recipe.html

Tonight we are making a curry dish, one vegan and one with chicken starting off with one pot.

Ingredients:
dice 1 red pepper
dice 1 sweet onion
mince 2 cloves of garlic.
We water sauteed these ingredients.

1 pint of canned tomatoes (we can our tomatoes from the garden with basil and salt)
2 teaspoons curry powder from above
1/2 teaspoon of thyme.

For the hubby we will take a portion (about a third) of this mix adding
1 teaspoon of Hot curry powder
1 cup of diced cooked chicken
and bake for 20 minutes at 350






To the vegan dish we will then add
1 cup of sliced baby portobella mushrooms
1/2 cup soaked, rinsed and drained red lentils (any type will do)
1 cup of vegetable broth

This will be brought to a boil, the heat reduced and covered until the lentils are done, about 20 minutes.
