Step 2

Add sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add red lentils and all spices and stir well to coat vegetables.

Step 3

Add vegetable broth, tomatoes, and coconut milk.  Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender and the stew has thickened.
