If you own an InstantPot and are looking for more ways to use it, print this recipe, get your ingredients and make this delicious and nutritious recipe for diner. Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables that are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Great to keep you satiated after diner and stay clear of late snacking. Lentils will offer you some extra protein and fiber, and are a great source of iron and folate! The combination of both, flavoured by the curry and ginger spices, and made even creamier with the coconut milk (great source of fatty acids) will make this a great recipe to pull out on a Sunday night. Did I mention super fast to prepare?
