How to Prepare One-Pot Potato, Spinach and Lentil Dal [Vegan]

  1. Rinse, pat dry potatoes, and make a few small slits in each one with the point of a knife. Wrap them up together in white paper towel making sure that they are evenly dispersed and not one on top of the other. Make a pack by tucking the paper towel underneath the potatoes and heat in microwave for 2 minutes on high until they are partially cooked. You can also make 2 packs and heat them up individually. When done, remove paper towel and let the potatoes cool for five minutes. Slice them in half or in thirds for bigger ones. Set aside.
  2. Heat up the oil in a non-stick casserole or pot. Add the partially cooked potatoes and toss them for 2 minutes. Add the lentils and curry paste and toss with the potatoes for another 3 minutes. Add a bit of water to prevent sticking.
  3. Add the water, coconut milk, tomatoes, and salt. Fold and mix and simmer on low heat uncovered for 15 minutes, mixing from time to time. Add a bit more water if you prefer less thick or more coconut milk/cream for thicker.
  4. Add the spinach leaves in handful batches and cook for another 5 minutes uncovered or until all the leaves have wilted.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately with Naan bread.
  6. Store leftovers in fridge in sealed container.
