Saut Aromatics and Spices
Start by warming the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them gently until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes. Next, add the ginger, curry powder, coriander, and cumin, stirring everything together until the spices release their wonderful aroma—this should take around 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and lentils, give it a good stir, then bring the mixture up to a gentle boil. Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Simmer Vegetables
Add the cauliflower and sweet potato to the pot, cover it, and keep it simmering on medium-low until the vegetables are tender—this usually takes around 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, and feel free to sprinkle in a bit more curry powder if you want a stronger flavor. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook just until it wilts, which should only take 3 to 5 minutes. Then it’s ready to serve!
