i usually eat this as a “soup”, but you can also put it over rice, or just use the cooked sweet potatoes as a side dish (saving the coconut milk/curry combo to cook rice in, or cook another curry).
- light coconut milk
- organic coconut milk
- 2C red lentils
- 1t sea salt
- 2T curry powder

I actually used regular curry powder and added a bit of cayenne

This is a staple dish in India where I grew up, and something you could cook any time of the year since it doesn’t need too many ingredients. It’s just as tasty as the more complicated versions that you can find in recipe books. I eat this with roti, brown rice, or make it more watery for a tasty soup. The advantage to having this outside India is that you don’t have to watch out for the occasional small stone mixed in with the lentils :)
