Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
-
Place the aubergine onto a large baking tray and drizzle over 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and toss together. Mix the ground cumin, ground coriander, chilli powder and sea salt together in a small bowl and scatter half over the aubergines. Toss until coated in the spices then place in the oven to roast for 25 minutes until tender and charred around the edges.
-
Meanwhile, heat a saute pan until medium hot, add the last of the vegetable oil and the onions and sweat over low heat for 5 minutes until just softening. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder and remaining spices and stir fry for 1 minute.
-
Add the puy lentils, tomatoes and vegetable stock, stir well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until everything is tender and the sauce thickened slightly.
-
Serve the lentil dahl topped with the roasted aubergines, a dollop of yoghurt and scattering of coriander.
