Place the rice in a pan of salted water and cook for 10 minutes. from boiling. Drain the rice once cooked and keep it warm.
Wash the spinach, remove the large stems and add them to the pan. Add salt and pepper. Check the cooking of the sweet potatoes which should be tender. Continue cooking for a few minutes if necessary.
Serve the curry with the rice.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice if you find this dish a little sweet.
You can add more curry powder, Espelette pepper. And for big appetites, you can add hard-boiled eggs like in India. Coral lentils contain fiber, hence their low glycemic contribution, as well as vegetable proteins. Combining them with rice promotes the assimilation of these proteins.
