Spiced roast pumpkin with coconut-curry lentils

Spiced roast pumpkin with coconut-curry lentils

We give a lot of love to simple ingredients here, resulting in a versatile side dish or main that knocks insipid plant-based cookery for six. First, we make an Indian coconut korma curry and use it to braise blue-green lentils. This delicious (kinda) dahl is the base for wedges of jap pumpkin, which have been dusted with cumin, coriander, garamasala, and roasted till sweet and caramelised. Dish up with a drizzle of yoghurt and warm flatbreads or mix it up and serve on the side of the Sunday roast.  

To Serve

This makes a great plant-based main course, with steamed basmati rice and flatbreads, or serve as part of an Indian spread, with curries, rice and chutneys. It’s also a surprisingly good side dish for roast pork or lamb.

* We don’t add preservatives or additives to our meals – we cook with the same real ingredients you would find in your home fridge and pantry. Some of these household ingredients do contain sub-ingredients, for example Dijon mustard contains sulphites and crushed tomatoes contain citric acid. We try to find products with as few additives as possible and always list every ingredient in our meals, both here and on the label.
