Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Put the cauliflower in a roasting tin and drizzle over the oil. Season and roast for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then grind them using a pestle and mortar.
  3. Mist a large flameproof casserole with cooking spray and fry the onions for 8-10 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, spices and ground cumin seeds, then cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the lentils and stock, then bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 1 hour, until the lentils are tender. Add a splash of water if the dhal starts to look dry.
  5. Stir through the roast cauliflower and season to taste, then set aside to cool completely before portioning and freezing.
