Sweet Potato Lentil Coconut Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil in a large pan, add 1 chopped red onion and cook for a few mins until softened.
• Add 1 tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp mustard seeds and 1 tbsp medium curry powder and cook for 1 min more, then stir in 100g red or green lentils (or a mixture), 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into chunks, 500ml vegetable stock and a 400g can chopped tomatoes.
• Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender. Add a drained 400g can chickpeas, then heat through.
• Season, sprinkle with ¼ small pack coriander, if you like, and serve with seasoned yogurt and naan bread.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
• Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.

Steps:

• Put all the Ingredients listed in the Curry Paste into a small blender and wizz for a few seconds until you have a nice smooth paste. Add a tbsp of nut oil/cooking oil in a large Saucepan. Add the chopped red onion into a large saucepan and cook on moderate heat for 5 minutes until soft. Add the Curry paste mixture into the pan and cook for a few minutes until fragrant.
• Add the sweet potatoes, lentils and chickpeas to the pan and stir until the paste has evenly covered them. Cook these for a couple of minutes and then add the chopped tomatoes and remaining Coconut milk. I usally add half a cup of water also. Put in the remaining fresh tomatoes, Cinammon sticks, salt and sugar. If you want an extra kick add 2 more chilies. Give the mixture a good stir and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until lentils and potatoes are soft. Stirring every 15 minutes or so.
• Meanwhile bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add the Basmati Rice. I usually sit it in water first to get rid of the starch. For 3 - 4 people I would recommend 2/3 of a standard packet of Basmati Rice. Add the Turmeric to the water for a bit of taste and colour. Let simmer for 10 minutes and drain. Add the desicated coconut and stir.
• To serve add some fresh Coriander on top and for an added garnish you could mix some chopped cucumber with Yoghurt and season with salt and Pepper. Or substitute the rice for a warm Naan Bread.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
• Sauté the onions, garlic and ginger until onions are tender, but not browned.
• Add the curry powder and stir through.
• Add the lentils, sweet potato and courgette, stir and just barely cover with water (you can use vegetable or chicken stock if you prefer).
• Reduce heat and simmer covered for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the lentils are tender. If there's quite a bit of liquid you can add more lentils. Add salt to taste.
• Add coconut milk and simmer for a few minutes.
• Serve over rice, with naan or just enjoy on its own.

Drain., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add carrots and garlic; cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in the sweet potatoes, curry, salt, pepper and remaining water.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
• Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tikka masala seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, without burning the garlic, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, and salt. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
• Mix in lentils, sweet potato, cayenne pepper, and hot vegetable broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until lentils and sweet potato are cooked through, about 40 minutes.
