Sweet Potato Curry with Lentils Recipe

Ingredients :

Serves 1

• 1 tsp vegetable oil

• ¹/₃ cup diced sweet potato

• generous ¼ cup diced potato

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped

• 1 small green chili, seeded and chopped

• ½ tsp ground ginger

• scant ¼ cup green lentils

• 5-7 tbsp hot vegetable stock

• ½ tsp garam masala

• 5-7 tbsp hot water (optional)

• 1 tbsp low-fat plain yogurt

• pepper

Method :

1. Heat the oil in a nonstick pan with a lid and sauté the sweet potato over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the potato into a pan of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 6 minutes, until almost cooked. Drain and set aside. When the sweet potato cubes are sautéed, remove them with a slotted spoon. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, chili, and ginger and stir for 1 minute.

3. Return the sweet potato to the pan and add the boiled potato, lentils, half the stock, pepper to taste, and the garam masala. Stir well to combine, bring to a simmer, and cover.

4. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, adding a little more stock if the curry looks too dry. Stir in the yogurt and serve.
