Instructions
Rinse and season the lentils, then stir-fry them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, potatoes and spinach, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.
Stir in the yogurt, cumin seeds and garam masala for 2 minutes.
Warm the roti separately.
Let the lentils simmer for about 9 minutes so the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Serve hot over the roti, garnished with fresh herbs.
