In a large pot or dutch oven, begin by heating your oil over medium heat.
Add in garlic and ginger and sauté for 3 minutes.
Add in your diced sweet potato and all the spices and stir well. Cook for 5 minutes until spices become aromatic and sweet potatoes are beginning to brown.
Next add in your red lentils, veggie broth, lime, maple syrup, peanut butter, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer for ~20-25 minutes, covered. Taste test your sweet potatoes and lentils to ensure doneness.
Pour in coconut milk (¾ of can) and reserve the rest for topping if desired.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Serve with basmati rice or garlic naan.
