Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. 
  • Remove 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. 
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/4-inch pieces. 

2
Cook aromatics and chicken

  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large pot over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl until melted.
  • Add chicken and shallots. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until chicken is golden and shallots slightly softened. It's okay if chicken doesn't cook all the way through. Chicken will continue cooking in step 3. 
  • Add Indian Spice Mix, ginger-garlic puree and curry paste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 sec, until fragrant.

3
Start stew

  • To the pot, add sweet potato, lentils, stock powder, coconut milk and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cover partially and cook for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is tender.

4
Bake toasties

  • Meanwhile, halve buns.
  • Spread 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) softened butter on cut sides.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange bottom buns, buttered-side down. Carefully top with cheese. Arrange top buns on bottom buns, buttered-side up.
  • Place another piece of parchment paper over top of buns, then press down with another baking sheet to flatten slightly.
  • Keep the top sheet on and bake toasties in the bottom of the oven for 4-5 min per side, until cheese melts and buns are browned and crisp.

5
Finish stew

  • To the stew, add spinach and half the cilantro.
  • Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide lentil stew between bowls.
  • Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
  • Cut toasties in half and serve alongside.

7

If you opted for chicken thighs, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken along with shallots. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until chicken is golden and shallots slightly softened. It's okay if chicken doesn't cook all the way through. Chicken will continue cooking in step 3. ** Proceed with remaining instructions as written.
