Ingredients

  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 cup dried lentils
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk, shaken
  • 3 cups cooked basmati rice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1
Bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Add coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and serve over rice garnished with cilantro.

Cook’s Note:

You can use jasmine rice instead of basmati as well.
