  1. SPICED MASH

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pot of cold salted water over a high heat. Add the potato pieces and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain on completion, and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Then, stir through a splash of milk or water, a knob of butter (optional), and ½ the Indian rub. Season to taste.

  2. FILLINGS FOR YOU

    In a bowl, combine the corn flour with 100ml of water. Mix until dissolved. Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and the carrot chunks. Fry for 5-6 minutes until starting to soften, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic, the garam masala and the remaining Indian rub. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the drained lentils, the peas, and the diluted corn flour. Mix until fully combined. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 5-6 minutes until starting to thicken, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice (to taste).

  3. BACK ON TOP

    Spoon the lentil mixture into an ovenproof dish. Evenly spread the mash over the top. Scrape some patterns on the mash with a fork if you’re feeling fancy! Sprinkle over the nutritional yeast and bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the mash is starting to brown – keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn!

  4. FRESH SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil.

  5. LET’S EAT!
