Cook this recipe
- yellow onion-1 medium
- garlic cloves-3 cloves
- low-sodium vegetable broth-2 1/2 cups
- red lentils-1 cup
- curry powder-2 tablespoons
- ground cumin-1 teaspoon
- sweet potatoes-1 1/2 lb
- ground turmeric-1 teaspoon
- diced tomatoes-14 1/2 oz
- canned full-fat coconut milk-13 1/2 fl-oz
- fine salt-1 teaspoon
- baby spinach-5 oz
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, peel and cube the sweet potatoes, and rinse the red lentils in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs mostly clear.
Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers tucked while cutting the sweet potatoes.
Cook the onion in one-tenth of the broth over medium heat until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Use a heavy pot of at least 6 quarts and reserve the remaining broth.
Stir in the garlic, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant but not scorched.
Add sweet potatoes, lentils, tomatoes, coconut milk and the reserved broth; bring to a steady simmer. Stir well and scrape the bottom of the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 22 to 28 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are creamy and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Lift the lid away from your face and hands because hot steam can escape quickly.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the curry is thick and saucy.
Turn off the heat and rest for 5 minutes, then divide the curry evenly among bowls.
