- 1 bunch of coriander, stalks and leaves separated and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garam masala

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas 6.Add butternut squash to a large roasting dish and drizzle with olive oil, and a good pinch of salt. Roast the squash for 40 mins until lovely and charred.

Heat a large sauté pan over a medium heat with a glug of olive oil. Add the shallot paste and cook for about 5 mins. Add the coriander stalks and garam masala, then cook for 2 mins.

Check that the lentils are tender, then add the lime juice and a generous pinch of salt. Add the roasted squash to the pan.
