Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

- Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
- Drain and rinse the canned lentils.
2. Cook the Base:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3. Add Curry Paste:

4. Incorporate Lentils and Broth:
- Add the drained lentils, vegetable broth, and tomato puree to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Add Cauliflower and Peas:
- Stir in the cauliflower florets and peas. Let the mixture simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
7. Finish with Coriander:
- Once the cauliflower is tender, remove the pot from heat.
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the dahl into bowls and serve hot. It can be enjoyed on its own or with rice, naan, or any preferred side.

Tips:

- Make sure to chop the onion and garlic finely for an even distribution of flavor.

- Use fresh or frozen peas to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

- Adjust the amount of curry paste according to your spice tolerance.

- If the dahl becomes too thick, simply add a bit more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.

- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and flavor.
