INGREDIENTS
1 small chopped onion
3-4 finely minced garlic cloves
1/2 finely chopped jalapeño
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated.
1 tablespoon of curry powder.
1½ tsp garam masala.
½ teaspoon of turmeric (optional)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth.
3 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
Combine 1½ cups yellow lentils (toor dal), washed and selected, with ¾ cup plain vegan yogurt.
Juice from ½ lime
1 bunch Swiss chard, central stems removed and leaves roughly cut.
A teaspoon of sea salt or black salt.
Fine powdered black pepper.
INSTRUCTIONS
Continue cooking the onion, garlic, jalapeño, ginger, curry powder, garam masala, and turmeric (if using) in a large, low saucepan over a medium-high flame until nearly done (3 to 4 minutes). To prevent sticking, add water one to two tablespoons at a time. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring until fully combined.
Mix the broth, sweet potatoes, and lentils. Stir to mix. Cover and come to a boil, then reduce heat and cover again, keeping the lid open slightly. Boil 20 minutes.
Once the beans are soft and the liquid has reduced, add the yogurt, lime juice, and cabbage. Cook until the chard begins to wilt. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir, and remove from the fire.
