Hi, would this be okay in the freezer and reheated at a later date?

Hi Becki! Yes the dal freezes really well and can be reheated on the stove. You could also freeze the roasted cauliflower then reheat it in an oven, microwave or on the stove, but it will effect the texture (for best results, you could roast the cauliflower fresh on the day).

Great recipe but we got 8 portions out of what was supposed to be 4. So you can definitely do less lentils and a smaller cauliflower

this turned out really delicious and the mango chutney was a great addition. a few edits that balanced it better the 2nd time around - for 2x people serving: reduced the lentils to 200g, take a small to medium sized cauliflower and increase red chillis to 2x instead of 1x assuming they are the larger sized, less spicy ones.

Could you substitute coconut milk with something here? 🙂

Hi Ci! You could sub the coconut milk for stock, then stir through some double cream or crème fraîche for creaminess at the end.

Hi can you use green lentils instead of red? Thanks

Hi Jessica! Absolutely! Green lentils won't go creamy like red lentils will so they'll provide a different texture. Green lentils also take longer to cook so cook the dal for 15-20 mins longer and top it up with more vegetable stock as you go to stop it drying out. Enjoy!

Roasted carrot instead of cauliflower and stirred it through with H. S. Balls Jalapeño chutney instead of mango, and it absolutely slapped. Made a mint raita to drizzle on the top with the fresh chilli. For 4 people this recipe made so much food too, so great for a big batch cook. Will definitely be a hearty, cosy go-to from now on.

If you aren't a fan of coriander you can use parsley - or a blend of soft herbs (like dill and parsley) would be amazing :) x

Looks great! Are the red lentils dried? Or is it 500g of soaked lentils?

Hi Issac! The lentils are regular dried red lentils :) no need to soak them as they cook so quickly! x
