Weight Watchers Lentil and sweet potato dhal- 3 points.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup red lentils (dry)
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp olive oil (or low-calorie spray to reduce points)
• 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
• Fresh coriander (cilantro) for garnish
• Lemon wedge to serve

🔥 Instructions:

1. Sauté aromatics:
   In a large pan, heat the oil (or spray). Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, ginger, and spices. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add lentils & sweet potato:
   Add diced sweet potato and lentils. Stir to coat in the spices.
3. Pour broth & simmer:
   Add vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until lentils are soft and sweet potato is tender. Stir occasionally. Add a bit more water if it thickens too much.
4. Adjust seasoning:
   Taste and add salt or more spice if needed.
5. Serve:
   Spoon into bowls, garnish with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice.

💡 Tips:

• Add a handful of spinach at the end for extra nutrition.
• Want a creamier texture? Use a stick blender to partially blend the dhal.
• Serve with a side of steamed veggies or cauliflower rice to stay low-point.
