Why is my lentil curry too salty when i didn't use salt?
I made a lentil curry for the first time tonight, but the taste was so salty i had to throw half away. I find it strange though because i didn't use salt. All i used was:
-Red split lentils, cooked until soft
- Turmeric, Onion granules, Garlic granules and Madras powder (only a pinch of each as i was only making one portion)
-1teaspoon tomato puree
-1 vegetable stock cube
Can anyone help me figure out how not to have it taste so salty next time? Thanks for your help. x
Oh and PS; i omit vegetables because i'm a salad and fruit person and find the texture of vegetables very difficult to work with and also because in the case of onions and garlic it would be a waste to use them for the amount i'd need.
Thank you for your help. x
In truth i didn't use a whole lot of water. But i'm 100% positive that my garlic and salt were granules and not salts
@upside down, there's no need to be rude about it i was just asking. politely too i might add. if we don't ask questions we don't learn stuff and if you had read my question the whole way through you would have seen why i didn't use vegetables.

Are you sure you had onion and garlic granules? And not onion/garlic salts?
The veggie cubes is your most likely culprit though. A cube dissolves into 1 cup of water. If you used a smaller ratio then that is for sure why it tastes so salty.

Taste your spices. Often they contain a lot of salt.
Stock cubes often are very salty, too.
The potatoes that you didn't include would absorb a lot of the salt.
