Saut Aromatics and Spices
Start by warming the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them gently until they turn soft and translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes. Next, add the ginger along with the curry powder, coriander, and cumin. Stir everything together and let the spices toast for a minute or two until you can really smell their aroma. Pour in the broth and lentils, give it a good stir, and bring the mixture up to a low boil. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Now, add the cauliflower and sweet potato, cover the pot, lower the heat to medium-low, and let it cook until the veggies are tender, around 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and if you want a bit more kick, sprinkle in some extra curry powder. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook just until it wilts, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
