Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons curry powder 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 head cauliflower (2 1/2 pounds), stemmed and separated into florets 1 cup brown lentils, picked over, well rinsed, and drained 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juice Coarse salt Plain low-fat yogurt, for serving (optional)

Directions

In a nonstick Dutch oven (5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid), heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes.

Add curry powder; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Stir in sweet potatoes, cauliflower, lentils, tomatoes and their juice, and 1 1/2 cups water; season with salt.

Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cover, and cook until lentils and sweet potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately with yogurt, if desired.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       01/13/2018   I don't like the sweet potatoes in this recipe. I LOVE sweet potatoes, but didn't find them a natural fit for the rest of this recipe, also a bit watery, I prefer them baked or roasted. I might try it again with something else in their place. It was easy and quick.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/03/2011   Very satisfying meal - didn't even miss the meat! I used spicy curry - wonderful flavor, and the end result was not spicy in the least, and I served this over brown rice. My husband loved it too!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/04/2011   I am out of cauliflower, so I am going to use half a head of green cabbage instead and of course with me, I always use twice as much garlic (yes I know there is no garlic listed, and why isn't there?) My Indian friend always cooked with tons of garlic, tomatoes and chick peas and always white rice. I don't like whtite rice, but once in a blue mon okay. And I get the best Madras curry at Hung Thinh Supermarket on Normandy and Lane.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/21/2010   I love curry and this one turned out pretty good. Excellent vegetarian dish. I ran out of mild curry powder after just a tbs or so, so I added a hot red curry paste. Also added a bit of garam masala powder, and I used red lentils. I didn't have plain yogurt, so I served this with a little creme fraish. Yum!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/10/2010   I love it-vegetarian and healthy-and beautiful too-It is better than any curry I've tasted,Thai or Indian~ I have to say I just received my Body Soul by Martha for April and Living for May-Just Beautiful too and I cannot wait to try all of the Earth day and Egg and healthiest recipes I've ever seen in my whole life!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/29/2009   We found this curry to be very bland, even though I used hot curry powder. I won't make this again!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/26/2008   I made this and accidentally doubled the cauliflower, and the water. The portion was huge! But it was yummy, filling and healthy!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/22/2008   I'd say you might use either. You need to be a little flexible with cooking and go with what you like and have on hand. Don't worry, it's not chemistry!

your directions include “tomatoes and their juices” … but there are no tomatoes listed under ingredients … how many/much tomatoes? … canned or fresh? ( …. thank you in advance for your reply)
