Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a wide-based pan with a tight-fitting lid.

Add 1 finely chopped red onion and cook over a low heat for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened.
3.
Add 1 crushed garlic clove, a finely chopped thumb-sized piece of ginger and 1 finely chopped red chilli, cook for 1 min, then add 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric and 1 ½ tsp ground cumin and cook for 1 min more.
4.
Turn up the heat to medium, add 2 sweet potatoes, cut into even chunks, and stir everything together so the potato is coated in the spice mixture. Tip in 250g red split lentils, 600ml vegetable stock and some seasoning.

Taste and adjust the seasoning, then gently stir in the 80g spinach. Once wilted, top with the 4 diagonally sliced spring onions and ½ small pack torn basil leaves to serve.
