A comforting and nutritious stew featuring lentils and sweet potatoes, perfect for a cozy meal.
Combine the water, lentils, and curry powder in a large pot and bring to a boil.
Using vegetable stock instead of water can enhance the flavor of the stew.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, chopped onion, and salt to the pot. Stir well.
Cut the sweet potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Raise the heat to bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover.
Check the pot occasionally and stir to ensure even cooking.
Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the lentils are fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
If the stew is too thick, add a bit more water or stock to adjust the consistency.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving.
Taste the stew before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed.
