Rinse the basmati rice and red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a small pot, combine the rice with 6 tablespoons of water, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
While the rice cooks, sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in a splash of vegetable broth in a large pan until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander, then add the lentils and the remaining vegetable broth to the pan.
Simmer the lentil mixture for 15 to 20 minutes until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Fold in the frozen peas, fresh spinach, and nutritional yeast, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the curry is creamy.
Finish with lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, then serve the warm curry over the fluffy basmati rice.
