Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, sweet potato, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until lentils and sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk. Heat through, but do not boil.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a spicier curry, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute brown or green lentils for red lentils, but they may require a longer cooking time.
  • Add other vegetables like spinach or peas in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
