Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Break the cauliflower into florets and toss in a little oil and some seasoning in a roasting tin. Roast for 25-30 mins, then set aside. Chop the onion and slice the red cabbage.

Step 2

Heat a little more oil in a large saucepan and add the onion and cabbage. Fry gently over a medium heat for 10 mins. Add the ginger and garlic paste, black mustard seeds, Garam masala, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander and chilli powder along with the curry leaves and fry for 2 mins.

Step 3

Stir through the split red lentils and most of the roasted cauliflower. Pour over the hot stock and the coconut milk, bring to the boil, lower to a simmer and cook uncovered for 40 mins. Stir through the lime juice and season to taste. Ladle into bowls, top with the remaining roasted cauliflower, chopped coriander and sliced chilli, if using.
