Method
- Place the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil then simmer for the 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
- Blend the garlic, ginger, onion and chillies to form a paste, heat the vegetable oil in a deep non-stick saucepan, cook the paste with the cumin, turmeric and a pinch of salt and pepper for 3-4 minutes on a med heat.
- Add the curry powder and cook for a further 1 min.
- Put the potatoes, plum tomatoes, stock and lentils in the saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes until the stock has been absorbed.
- Add the spinach, drained chickpeas and chopped coriander, stir until evenly mixed.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower. Either grate it or lightly blend it in a food processor until it becomes a coarse crumb and resembles small grains of rice.
- Transfer to a microwavable bowl and cover with cling film, cook on a high heat for 3 minutes, season and add a little freshly chopped coriander and serve.
