3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp grated ginger
1 ½ tsp turmeric
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin

instructions

Step 1.

Heat a large pot to medium-high heat. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil into the pot. Add onion and carrot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until softened.
Step 2.

Add garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander powder, paprika, cumin, allspice, cayenne pepper and thyme. Stir to combine and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 3.

Stir through kūmara, lentils with the brine and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the kumara is tender.
Step 4.

Add the coconut milk and spinach and stir to combine. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes or until the spinach has wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 5.

Garnish with parsley, then serve and enjoy while warm!
Serving Suggestion:

This kumara and lentil coconut curry is delicious when served over parsley rice. Simply stir chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon through your favourite cooked rice for a wholesome meal.
Note:

The brine from the lentils gives this curry a lovely, thick consistency and adds additional nutrients that have leached from the beans. It’s also a great way to reduce waste! You may want to reduce the amount of salt you add, as the brine will add a bit of saltiness.
