Curried Lentils With Sweet Potatoes and Spinach image

My mother-in-law shared this with me (by way of deliciousliving.com), and it sure is a keeper. One of the tastiest ways I know to get your daily vitamins! The recipe calls for fresh spinach, but I used frozen (thawed out) and it worked fine. I'll fix this without the almonds next time, but that's just a matter of preference. We made this gluten free by using a gluten free broth, and GF yogurt. Mmmm, I can't wait to see how the leftovers taste tomorrow!

I love the idea of this recipe, but I found it to be a bit too time-consuming. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more spices.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover lentils. I also like to add a can of coconut milk to make it even creamier.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The lentils were cooked well and the vegetables were flavorful. Next time, I'll use less curry powder.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! I made a few minor changes, like using brown lentils instead of green lentils, and I added a bit of chopped cilantro at the end. It was delicious!
