Ingredients:  
1 1/2 c. red lentils
4 c. hot water

1 c. onion chopped
1 fresh green chile, minced
3 tbsp. vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter)
4 c. sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tbsp. of mild curry powder
1 tsp. ground cumin

Directions:
Directions:
Rinse the lentils. In a covered saucepan, bring the water and lentils to a boil. Reduce the heat, uncover, and simmer for about 30 mins. until tender.
In a large soup pot, sauté the onions and chile in the oil until the onions begin to soften. Add the sweet potatoes, curry powder, cumin, and ginger and continue to sauté for 2 to 3 mins, stirring often. Pour in the 2 c. of water. Add the cauliflower florets and the bell peppers, cover and simmer for 10 mins. While the vegetables simmer, rinse, stem and coarsely chop the spinach. Pour the lentils and their cooking liquid into a blender or food processor, and purée for 2 to 3 mins. to make a smooth dahl. When the cauliflower is tender, stir in the spinach, the dahl, and the lemon juice. Simmer just until the spinach has wilted. Add salt to taste, and serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
I usually serve with organic brown basmati rice.
An Indian chef also introduced me to putting approximately a tsp (or less) of ghee (or reg. butter) onto my serving and lightly squeezing a lemon wedge over it. This is applicable to all Indian dishes.
