Preheat the oven and prepare veggie meatballs using veggie ground, chickpea flour, ground flax seeds, thyme, and allspice.

Roll out the veggie meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake the veggie meatballs in the oven.

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into large pieces.

In a pot, add water and bring to a simmer.

Add diced yellow onion and crushed garlic to the simmering water; water sauté until soft.

Add curry powder, thyme, and allspice to the onions and garlic; mix well.

Add more water to prevent spices from burning, then add brown lentils and more water to cook them.

Cover and let the lentils simmer until slightly soft.

Add sweet potatoes to the pot and mix in; add more water as needed.

Cover and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes until sweet potatoes are soft but not mushy.

Gently mix in the baked veggie meatballs into the curry.

Transfer the curry to a serving dish and garnish with chopped scallions.
