Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Remove the butter from your fridge and leave to one side to soften (see pantry for amount).
Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel) and pop them onto a large baking tray.
Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, then season with salt and pepper. Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel then set aside.
Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Once the sweet potato has been in the oven for 10 mins, add the tomato parcel to the bottom shelf of your oven. Roast for the remaining time.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in large frying pan on medium heat. Add the korma paste and half the garlic, stir-fry for 1 min.
Stir in the water for the lentils (see pantry for amount), vegetable stock paste and lentils. Bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by about half, 4-5 mins.
Meanwhile, once the butter has softened slightly, pop into a small bowl and add the remaining garlic. Use a fork to mash the garlic into the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Halve the ciabatta then spread the garlic butter over the cut sides.
Once the lentils have reduced, stir in the creme fraiche. Simmer for a further minute then remove from the heat.
When there are about 5 mins of roasting time remaining, pop the ciabatta into the oven and bake until golden, 5-6 mins.
When everything is ready, reheat the lentils (if needed), then stir in the sweet potato. Add a splash more water if you feel it needs it. Season with salt and pepper.
Share the creamy lentils out between your serving bowls.
Spoon the roasted tomatoes over the top, including any juices from the foil parcel.
Crumble the cheese over the top. Finish by drizzling over the mango chutney.
Cut the garlic bread in half diagonally and serve alongside.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: A genuinely flavoursome dish that surprises many first-timers; the mango chutney and roasted tomatoes are standout additions. Some find it a touch sweet overall, and a few felt it could use a little more heat or spice.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, though one reviewer noted the crème fraîche step is easy to miss as it appears within the garlic bread section rather than the main lentil instructions.
- Suggestions: Swap the ciabatta for naan to better complement the korma flavours; some also added rice to soak up the sauce. Adding a squeeze of lime, a handful of spinach, or some chickpeas can help balance the sweetness and bulk out the dish. If the sauce feels too rich, reduce the crème fraîche slightly.
- Next-day meals: Several reviewers noted the dish keeps well and tastes even better the following day, making it a great option for leftovers.
- Portions: Many found the portion generous and filling, though some cooking for two felt one ciabatta between two people was not quite enough.
- Cooking tips: Sweet potatoes may need a few extra minutes beyond the stated time to cook through fully; lentils can also benefit from slightly longer simmering if they seem firm.
