Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a nonstick pan with a lid and saute the sweet potato over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the potato into a pan of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 6 minutes, until almost cooked. Drain and set aside. When the sweet potato cubes are sauteed, remove them with a slotted spoon. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, chile and ginger and stir for 1 minute.

3. Return the sweet potato to the pan and add the boiled potato, lentils, half the stock, pepper to taste, and the garam masala. Stir well to combine, bring to a simmer, and cover.

4. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, adding a little more stock if the curry looks to dry. Stir in the yogurt and serve.
