Sweet Potato Lentil Coconut Curry

Step 1

In a large pan, melt coconut oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, tomatoes, and ginger. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.

Step 2

Sprinkle curry powder, turmeric, and cayenne over diced sweet potatoes and toss to coat.

Step 3

Pour coconut milk over tomato mixture and whisk in curry paste and sugar until smooth. Add seasoned sweet potatoes, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender. Add lentils, remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes to thicken. If too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin. Add cilantro and salt and adjust seasonings to taste. Garnish with cilantro.
