Method

  • step 1

    Boil the kettle, tip the lentils into a large heatproof bowl, and pour over the boiled water. Leave to soak while you roast the cauliflower.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Spread the cauliflower and its leaves out on a large, lined baking tray. Drizzle over 1 tbsp vegetable oil, then scatter over the turmeric, mustard and cumin seeds and some salt and pepper, and massage in well. Bake for 30 mins. Once the cauliflower is golden and softened, drain the lentils.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan on a medium heat. Pour in the remaining 1 tbsp oil, then scatter in the onion. Cook for 10-12 mins or until softened, add the garlic and finely chopped ginger and cook for a further 2-3 mins.

  • step 4

    Scatter in the chilli and ground coriander, and add the tomato purée, stirring well to prevent burning. Pour in the tomatoes, then 2 canfuls of water. Tip in the lentils, mixing well. Cook for 15-20 mins until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened. You may need to add a bit more water as it cooks, depending on the consistency you prefer.

  • step 5

    Stir in the chopped coriander and some salt and pepper, then divide between bowls. Top with a dollop of yogurt, the cauliflower and any mustard and cumin seeds left in the tray, the ginger matchsticks and coriander leaves.

Try soaking the cauli florets in boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly.. then as above but in the air fryer should you have one. Saves putting the oven on! Soaking the cauli is a tip I picked up from Curries with Bumbi on U tube. Check her out Good Food. Shes really clever!

I had to increase the level of spices in the daal otherwise the overpowering flavour is tomatoes.

Can this be frozen. I live on my own so couldn’t eat it all in one sitting?
