Sweet Potato Lentils

This was pretty good. The kids said it was 'ok' which I'm counting as a win. I didn't quite follow their directions because I didn't have enough time for the crock pot. Here are my adjustments

http://pinchofyum.com/crockpot-sweet-potato-lentils

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, diced (about 6 cups)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon each ground coriander, garam masala, and chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups uncooked red lentils (masoor dal)
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 cup water

    Cook sweet potatoes thru spices until soft. Add the lentils and coconut milk- add water at the end if necessary.
