Method

1

Rinse lentils under cold water and drain. Peel sweet potato and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Dice onion and mince garlic. Grate ginger.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.

3

Stir in garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add garam masala, turmeric, and cumin; stir constantly for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

5

Add lentils, sweet potato cubes, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and sweet potato is fork-soft.

6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in lime juice if using, and top with fresh cilantro.
