Instructions
Saute the Onion and Garlic
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Bloom the Spices
Add the curry powder and turmeric to the pot and stir constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices in the oil until very fragrant.
Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the rinsed red lentils, cubed sweet potato, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine everything evenly.
Simmer the Dahl
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are completely dissolved and the sweet potato is tender.
Serve with Rice or Naan
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lemon juice. Serve hot over basmati rice or with warm vegan naan, garnished with fresh cilantro.
