2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. (15 mL) minced fresh ginger
1 red chile pepper, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. (15 mL) ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. (6 mL) ground turmeric
2 sweet potatoes, (about 1 1/2 lbs./675g) peeled and cut into 2-in./5 cm chunks

1 pot Knorr® Homestyle Stock Vegetable
3 1/2 cups (875 mL) water

Heat sesame oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat and cook onion until just softened, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, red chile, cumin and turmeric and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add sweet potatoes and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture, then cook 5 minutes over medium heat.
Add lentils, Knorr® Homestyle Stock - Vegetable and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Season, if desired, with salt. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve with lime wedges.
