For a richer flavor, try toasting the garam masala in a dry pan for a minute or two before adding it to the pot. If you like a smoother curry, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the coconut milk. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, cauliflower, or peas to the curry. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a gentle simmer. (5 minutes)
02
StepMeanwhile, in a large pot or Dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garam masala and cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to bloom. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, being careful not to burn it, about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, minced ginger, turmeric, and sea salt. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (12 minutes)
03
StepStir in lentils, cubed sweet potato, cayenne pepper, and the simmering vegetable broth; bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the lentils and sweet potato are tender and cooked through, about 40 minutes. (45 minutes)
04
StepPour in coconut milk and stir gently to combine. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked basmati rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. (5 minutes)
