1 piece of ginger (about 5 cm), chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red onion, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 spring onions, chopped
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons roasted pumpkin seeds
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
Method
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil and sauté the onions for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute. Then add the carrots, lentils, sweet potato and curry powder.
