This meal is a simple one pot recipe , perfect for those chilly autumn evenings!it's great for batch cooking,it's easy to freeze and full of simple m, low cost ingredients.The Bhut jolokia packs a mean punch which fires up the dahl,so we like to pair it with cocunut yogurt and brown rice to cool it down.

Pre Time And Cook time

Prep Time: 10min
Cook time: 15min

ingredients:

2 tablespoon olive oil *sub soy sauce for an oil-free recipe
1 red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 big (or 2 small) sweet potatoes, diced
½ cup red lentils
1 ½ cups veggie broth
1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander powder
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon garam masala powder
1x 15 oz tin chopped tomatoes
1x 15 oz can creamy coconut milk
side dish of choice (rice, naan...)

Method:

1. Heat some olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add onion and garlic and fry until translucent.
3. In the meantime, give the lentils a good wash (works best in a sieve).
4. Add sweet potato cubes, lentils, veggie broth, spices, chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
5. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and let simmer with a lid on for about 10-12 minutes.
6. Then add coconut milk and let simmer without a lid for another 10 minutes. At that point you could also throw in some extra vegetables like baby spinach leaves, some kale or olives (optional).
7. Taste and adjust seasoning.
8. Serve with side dish of choice (rice, naan…) and a drizzle of fresh lime juice. I also highly recommend adding some chopped cashews on top.
9. Enjoy right away or store it in an airtight container - it will taste just as good the next day!
10. It’s also freezer-friendly!
