- Add Indian Spice Mix, ginger-garlic puree and curry paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add sweet potato, lentils, stock powder and coconut milk to the pot.
- Fill half the coconut milk can with water (three-quarters of the can for 4 ppl), then add to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is tender, 12-14 min.
- Meanwhile, halve buns.
- Spread 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) softened butter on cut sides.
- Arrange bottom buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, buttered-side down. Carefully top with cheese. Arrange top buns on bottom buns, buttered-side up.
- Place another piece of parchment paper over top of buns, then press down with another baking sheet to flatten slightly.
- Keep the top sheet on and bake toasties in the bottom of the oven, flipping halfway through, until cheese melts and buns are golden-brown and crisp, 4-5 min per side.
- Add spinach and half the cilantro to stew.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide lentil stew between bowls.
- Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.
- Cut toasties in half and serve alongside.
