Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew

A popular dish in Indian is a Dhal curry and I have designed this Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew as an inspired alternative from the much loved authentic curry.

Full and filling, I use onions, garlic, green lentils and sweet potatoes cooked in a vegetable broth and seasoned with bay leaves, turmeric, cumin, black pepper and sea salt. A delicious vegan dinner for you and the whole family!

This Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew is simply great. I made it for my wife and I on a chilly evening. The flavors were rich, just like my mom’s curry. We'll be making this again for sure.
