ROAST WITH THE MOST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). At the halfway mark, scatter over the lentils and roast for the remaining time. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). Scatter over the lentils at the halfway mark.
CURRY BASE
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the garlic, the ginger, and the turmeric curry rub. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked chopped tomato, the coconut milk, and 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 10-12 minutes.
Kale
Once the curry base has thickened slightly, add the Kale and ½ the coriander. Simmer until the kale has wilted, 3-4 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, mix in the roast and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
Poppadoms
Heat the Poppadoms in the microwave until crispy, 20-30 seconds. Alternatively, place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time, 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over. Keep flipping until golden and puffed up.
