           Toasted unsweetened coconut
           - flakes; to serve (optional)
 
  In a Dutch oven or pot, heat 2 tb olive oil over medium-high. Add
  the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned
  all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the browned sweet potatoes to a
  plate and set aside.
  
  Add the remaining 1 tb olive oil to the pot and set the heat to
  medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until
  translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the curry paste, garlic, ginger,
  chile, and turmeric, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  
  Add the lentils, stock, salt and browned sweet potatoes to the pot
  and bring to a boil over high. Lower the heat and simmer,
  uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are just
  tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  
  Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the
  liquid has reduced and the lentils are creamy and falling apart, 15
  to 20 minutes.
  
  Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Off the
  heat, stir in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
  
  Divide among shallow bowls and top with cilantro and coconut
  flakes, if using.
