Lentil, Potato & Spinach Curry (Garam Masala)

This vegetarian curry gets a boost of spicy sweetness from the classic Indian seasoning known as garam masala, whose name comes from the Hindi garam (“hot”) and masala (“mixture”). The spice medley, whose components vary from region to region, actually imparts only mild heat, as the word garam refers to the intensity of the spices and not the heat.
