This version of dhal with cauliflower is nothing short of brilliant: beautiful gentle spices, lovely textures, and amazing tastes that linger on the palate. Serve it with basmati rice, warm chapatis and a green salad.

Drain the lentils and put into a pan with the garam masala, chilli, crushed garlic, sliced onion and turmeric. Cover with the coconut milk and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until tender and soft. Add the cauliflower and tomato and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and heat through. Season to taste with salt.
