Serves: 2

Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, finely chopped
• 1 large potato, cut into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon chilli paste
• 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 courgette, roughly chopped
• handful of mushrooms, chopped
• half a cup of red lentils

Method

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the onion, garlic, carrots and potatoes for 5 minutes, stirring all the time to stop it from burning or sticking.
2. Once the onion has softened, add the spices and stir for another 3 minutes. Then add the rest of the veg, coating them in the spices.
