Method

  • step 1

    For the base, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the cauliflower and squash in oil and spread it out on a large oven tray. Roast for 25 mins, or until tender. If you're making the base ahead of time, you can now freeze in an airtight container for up to a month. (Defrost fully before using in the next step.)

  • step 2

    Heat oil in a pan, then add the onion and cook until soft, stir in the spices and cook for 2 mins. Stir in the lentils, coconut milk and 200ml water and bring to a simmer.

  • step 3

    Cook for 20 mins, then add the roast veg and cook for a further 10 mins, adding a little water if it looks dry. Stir in the coriander. Serve with rice and yogurt.

I really did not like this. The red lentils turned into mush and the coconut milk made it far too sweet for my palate. I even added additional spices to it, and served it with jeera rice, but it was still pretty bland. I'll not be making this again.

This recipe was very easy, and really tasty…with a bit of tweaking! I used 3 different types of squash and tossed them with curry powder before roasting them. I also added a fresh pulp of chillies, onion, garlic and tomato (pulp leftover from making chilli sauce) while frying off the onion and…
