Ingredients

  • 270g lentils
  • 255g quinoa
  • 80g cauliflower
  • 80g butternut squash
  • 25g curry paste
  • 60g greek yoghurt
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 65g ½ naan
  • 5g ghee
  • fresh coriander & a pinch of garam masala

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cauliflower and butternut squash, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

    Simmer the cooked green lentils with a splash of stock for 5 minutes until they absorb the flavours.

  4. 4

    Combine the tikka paste, yoghurt and lemon juice. Coat the protein and leave for at least 10 minutes (or overnight) before cooking.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cauliflower and butternut squash for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and green lentil, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander & a pinch of garam masala.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the ½ naan, ghee for extra energy-dense calories.
