Smart Cooking Tips
- Rinse the lentils well before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use fresh spices for the best aroma and flavor. Toasting them lightly in a dry pan can enhance their taste.
- Stir occasionally while cooking to avoid the lentils sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Directions
Warm the oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the onion, dukkah, garam masala, and garlic, and cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, add the sweet potatoes and let them cook for a few minutes until they start to brown a bit. Pour in the vegetable broth, then stir in the lentils and cilantro. Cover the pot partially and let it simmer gently until the lentils are tender, which should take around 20 to 25 minutes. Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the spinach and cook just until it wilts, about 5 minutes. Finish by seasoning with some black pepper to taste.
Serving Ideas For Family Meals
Serve with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread for a complete meal. A dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a nice contrast and freshness. You can also add a side of roasted vegetables to increase the variety.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Let the dish cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
