A hearty blend of warm Indian spices and nutritious lentils and sweet potatoes rounded out with creamy coconut milk. Perfect served with your favorite rice or some yummy naan.
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.
