Description

Creamy sweet potato and lentil curry made in one pot using simple ingredients. It's vegan and naturally gluten-free, packed with flavours that the whole family will enjoy.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion
  • 3 small sweet potatoes
  • 1 can green lentil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 400 ml veggie stock
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 250 ml coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, then saute the onion until soft and translucent.
  2. Add ginger, garlic, curry powder, paprika, turmeric and cumin and cook for 2 minutes. In the meantime, rinse the lentils and chop the sweet potatoes into small pieces. 
  3. Now add the tomato puree and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add sweet potato cubes and veggie broth. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer with a lid on for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are half soft.
  4. Then add coconut milk and lentils and let simmer until the veggies are soft. At this point, you can add spinach for extra colours and taste. 
  5. Serve it with your favourite side dish. I love it with rice or naan bread. 

Notes

 I recommend drizzling some lime and plant-based yoghurt or sour cream on top.
