Cooking the curry powder for a minute before adding the sweet potatoes helps to deepen its flavor. For a spicier dish, use Madras curry powder instead of regular.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 head cauliflower (2 1/2 pounds), stemmed and separated into florets
1 cup brown lentils, picked over, well rinsed, and drained
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juice
Coarse salt
Plain low-fat yogurt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a nonstick Dutch oven (5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid), heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Add curry powder; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Stir in sweet potatoes, cauliflower, lentils, tomatoes and their juice, and 1 1/2 cups water; season with salt.
  • Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover, and cook until lentils and sweet potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately with yogurt, if desired.

This curry is a waste of time. It took me over an hour to make, and it wasn't even worth it. The flavor was just okay, and it wasn't very filling.

This curry is way too expensive. The ingredients are not hard to find, but they're still pricey. I could have made a similar curry for half the cost.

This curry is too spicy for me. I like spicy food, but this was just too much. I had to add a lot of yogurt to cool it down.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my curry turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any flavor.

This curry is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the lentils and the spices, and they always ask for seconds.

I love serving this curry with a side of rice or naan. It's also great with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.

This curry is a great meal to prep ahead of time. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this curry is just the right amount of spicy. It's flavorful without being overpowering.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a bag of lentils in my pantry, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

This is the best lentil curry I've ever had. I've tried many different recipes, but this one is by far the most flavorful and satisfying.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this curry changed my mind. The lentils are so soft and creamy, and they really soak up the flavor of the spices.

This lentil curry is a lifesaver! I'm a busy working mom and I don't always have time to cook elaborate meals. This curry is quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family.
