Nourishing Sweet Potato Dahl

Vegan/ Gluten free/ Sugar free

As promised via my Instagram page, this week I’m sharing with you one of my favourite dinners of all time… sweet potato dahl! Yes it’s a relatively simple meal and that’s what I love about it. Dahl is an indian cuisine made using nourishing spices that are amazing for your digestion and overall wellbeing!

Lentils are a great source of cholesterol-lowering fibre which helps prevent digestive disorders such as irritable bowl syndrome. Lentils also are great to balance blood sugar levels while providing steady, slow-burning energy.

Sweet potatoes are one of my favourite vegetables! The creamy texture is perfect for this meal and they also contains lots of vitamins including vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, vitnain C, B6, manganese, and copper. Sweet potatoes are a great source of fibre filling you up and keeping you healthy!

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 40 mins
Total Time 50 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red lentils soaked in water for 6 hours or overnight as this helps for proper digestion
  • 2 cups sweet potato chopped
  • 2 cups low salt liquid vegetable stock
  • 1 cup organic coconut milk I used Nakula
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 tbs coconut oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 medium red chilli chopped if you like it spicy
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • Spices//
  • 1 tbs ginger grated
  • 1 tbs indian curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • Topping suggestions//
  • Fresh coriander
  • Lime juice

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat oil and cook onions and garlic for a few minutes with all the spices to enhance the flavours.
  • Rinse the lentils under water then add to the pot along with all remaining ingredients (except spinach) and let simmer on a low heat for approximately 30-40mins or until sweet potato is very soft.
  • Turn off heat, stir through the spinach and with a wooden spoon start mashing the sweet potato to get the dalh nice and thick. Let it sit for 5-10 mins then serve on its own or with rice (my favourite is brown basmati).
  • Topped with lime juice and fresh coriander!
  • Enjoy the goodness xx

Creamy Bowl of Chia Oats❀ such a classic breakfa Creamy Bowl of Chia Oats❀ such a classic breakfast but with some extra goodness to boost your nutrient intake! I topped with antioxidant rich blueberry compote (frozen blueberries cooked in the saucepan with a splash of water) + sliced banana + coconut + hemp seeds. I cook about 1/2 cup of oats with water until it thickens up->then add 1 tbsp. Chia seeds + with small soy milk to get them extra creamy! I also added a bit of coyo coconut yoghurt at the end! 
❀Oats are a great way to start your day as they contain fibre and protein to keep you satisfied for longer and may help with blood sugar control. 
❀Because blueberries are high in vitamin C, it increases the absorption of the iron in oats 👌🏼

What’s your favourite toppings to have with oats?! Xx
