- 250 g1¼ cups rice
- 11 cauliflower

Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C / 220°C fan, then take out a large roasting tray and two saucepans.
- Cut the cauliflower into bitesized chunks, place into your roasting tray and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until tender in the centre and nicely charred on the outside.
- Empty the tomato daal sauce into your saucepan along with the red lentils and 250ml of water. Cook the daal over a medium heat for around until the lentils are tender and cooked through, around 10-15 minutes. Stir regularly to stop the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once cooked, squeeze in half of the lime and season to taste with salt.
- Place the rice in a small saucepan and cover with 2.5x its volume in water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the rice is tender, but al dente.
- Remove any hardy stems from the cavolo nero , then finely slice the leaves. Once there is 10 minutes left on the roasted cauliflower, add the sliced cavolo nero to one side of the roasting tray, toss in a little olive oil and some salt and roast for the final 10 minutes of cooking time. Check the cavolo nero after 5 minutes to make sure it doesn't burn. Meanwhile roughly chop the coriander leaves.
- Divide the tomato daal and rice between serving bowls, then top with the charred cauliflower , crispy cavolo nero and a dollop of coconut yoghurt . Garnish with chopped coriander , the rest of the lime juice and enjoy!
