Total Time 50 minutes

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
