Steps:
- Bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
- 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.
- 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.

RED CURRY LENTILS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND SPINACH
In this vegetarian main inspired by Indian dal, lentils are cooked with an aromatic blend of Thai spices - fresh ginger, turmeric, red curry paste and chile - then simmered in coconut milk until fall-apart tender. Browning the sweet potatoes before cooking them with the lentils brings out their sweetness, balancing the heat from the chile and curry paste, while baby spinach tossed in just before serving adds fresh flavor. Serve over steamed white or brown rice, or with toasted flatbread on the side.

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and set the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger, chile and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut flakes, if using.
