Steps:
- Bring 3 cups of vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
- Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large bowl over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tikka masala seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, without burning the garlic, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, and salt. Cook and stir for 5 minutes.
- Mix in lentils, sweet potato, chili pepper, and hot vegetable broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until lentils and sweet potato are cooked through about 40 minutes.
