Ingredients:

1/2 cauliflower
450g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
1/3 cup curry paste
72g
1/2 cup canned lentils
100g
2 cups vegetable broth
460g
1 cup green beans
230g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Prepare and Roast Cauliflower:
- Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
3. Cook the Onions:
- While the cauliflower is roasting, heat a large pot over medium heat.
- Add a bit more olive oil if necessary and sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.
4. Add Curry Paste:
- Stir in the 1/3 cup of curry paste and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s well mixed with the onions.
5. Combine Lentils and Broth:
- Add the drained and rinsed lentils to the pot.
- Pour in the 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Add Green Beans:
- Stir in the trimmed and halved green beans.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans become tender but still crisp.
7. Mix in Roasted Cauliflower:
- Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to the pot with the lentils and green beans.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8. Serve and Garnish:
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of additional coriander if desired.

Tips:

- For an extra flavor boost, try roasting the cauliflower with a sprinkle of your favorite spices or seasoning before adding it to the dhal.

- If you prefer a thicker dhal, let it simmer longer to reduce the liquid, or use less vegetable broth.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or spinach to the dhal for added nutrition and variety.

- Garnish with a dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh and tangy finish.

- Use fresh coriander leaves as a garnish just before serving to retain their vibrant flavor and color.

Indulge in the comforting and aromatic goodness of roasted cauliflower dhal. This dish is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients, making it a great option for a hearty meal. Serve it with rice, naan, or enjoy it on its own for a fulfilling experience.
