    Vind dat er teveel vocht bij zit.
    Misschien de helft water en de helft kokosmelk
    Smaak was prima

      Hey Marjan! Dankjewel voor je comment. Smaken verschillen ook qua dikte van de curry ;). Je had wel gedroogde rode linzen gebruikt toch? (die nemen best wat vocht op, dus dat kan een verschil maken).

    Lekker. Als de zoete aardappelen tenminste gaar zijn. Die hebben echt veel meer suddertijd nodig. Even voorgaren helpt ook. Het gerecht ziet er ook mooi uit.

      Ha Thea, we hopen dit opgelost te hebben door aan de instructies toe te voegen ze echt in 1 cm blokjes te snijden en de deksel erop te doen na het toevoegen. Gelukkig smaakte het (uiteindelijk) wel goed!🙂

    ❤️!
    Really nice tasty recipe. Would change the cooking times a bit though, as the sweet potato and the lentils were still a bit hard. I’d suggest 5 minutes with only sweet potato, another 15 with the lentils, and then the 3 minutes with the spinach as per the current recipe.
