Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 200g red lentils
- 400ml can coconut milk
- small bunch coriander, chopped
- cooked wholegrain basmati rice, to serve

For the roast cauliflower & squash base
- 1 cauliflower, split into florets, the stalk cut into cubes
- ½ large butternut squash, cut into cubes

Method

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.
