Curried Lentils With Sweet Potatoes and Spinach image

My mother-in-law shared this with me (by way of deliciousliving.com), and it sure is a keeper. One of the tastiest ways I know to get your daily vitamins! The recipe calls for fresh spinach, but I used frozen (thawed out) and it worked fine. I'll fix this without the almonds next time, but that's just a matter of preference. We made this gluten free by using a gluten free broth, and GF yogurt. Mmmm, I can't wait to see how the leftovers taste tomorrow!

I made this curry in my slow cooker and it came out perfectly. The lentils were fall-apart tender and the sweet potatoes were meltingly soft.

The curry was flavorful, but the lentils were a bit too mushy for my liking. I'll try cooking them for a shorter time next time.

Not sure what went wrong, but my curry turned out watery. Maybe I added too much liquid.

Followed the recipe to a T, but the lentils didn't soften enough. Maybe I should have soaked them overnight.

This curry was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add extra spices and a squeeze of lemon juice to give it some zing.
