Description

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp grapeseed or vegetable oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 large clove garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp garam masala
• 2 Tbsp tomato paste
• 1 400ml can of coconut milk
• 1¼ cups dried green lentils
• 1 bunch green kale, stemmed and leaves finely chopped
• 1 large yam, peeled and chopped (approx. 2 cups)
• 2 cups water
• Lemon wedges, to serve (essential!)
• Fresh cilantro leaves, to serve (nice to have)

Directions

• Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot. Add onion and cook on medium high until softened and just starting to brown. Add garlic and ginger and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Reduce heat to medium low and add coriander, cumin, turmeric, salt, brown sugar, garam masala and tomato paste. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning the spices.
• Add coconut milk and mix well. Add kale, yam and lentils and mix. Add water and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover with a heavy lid and cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The kale should cook down and the yam and lentils should be tender.
• Serve on its own or overtop basmati rice. Squeeze fresh lemon over the curry immediately before serving and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
