Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Pop the diced butternut 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, roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Once cooked, remove from your oven.
Meanwhile, trim the root and dark green leafy part from the leek and discard. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the leek and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the leek until softened, 4-6 mins, stirring occasionally.
Add the korma curry paste and half of the garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 min.
Next, stir the coconut milk, sugar and water for the dal (see pantry for both amounts) and veg stock paste into the leek.
Add the lentils, stir together and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat, cover with a lid (or some foil) and cook until the lentils are soft, 20-25 mins. Stir often to ensure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once cooked, remove from the heat.
When 5 mins of dal cooking time remains, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
When hot, add the cabbage and stir-fry for 2 mins. Season with salt and pepper, add a splash of water, mix well and cover with a lid (or foil).
Cook until just tender, 3-4 mins. Once tender, add the mustard seeds, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer thing milder) and remaining garlic and fry for 1 min more.
When everything's ready, add the roasted butternut to the dal.
Add a splash of water to the curry if it's looking a little thick, then stir through the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.
Share your dal between your bowls.
Top with your cabbage.
Enjoy!
