Preparation
Instructions:
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 10-15 minutes until caramelized. Transfer half to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Add ginger, garlic, and 2 tbsp garam masala; fry for 1 minute. Stir in grated carrots and fry for 5 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes, red lentils, and vegetable stock to the pan. Season and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently until the lentils become creamy. Add a splash of water if it starts to stick.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss Brussels sprouts with remaining oil and garam masala on a baking tray; season. Roast for 15 minutes until tender.
Wash rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Place in a medium, lidded saucepan with 600ml water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; then cover and simmer on very low heat for 10-12 minutes until water is absorbed.
Divide rice between bowls, spoon over the dhal, and top with spiced Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with any remaining oil, sprinkle reserved onions, and serve with lemon wedges.
