• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. Cut cauliflower into small florets. Cut carrot and zucchini into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. • Finely chop garlic. • Drain and rinse half the red lentils.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return pan to medium-high heat. Cook garlic, Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend and tomato paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the boiling water ( 11/4 cups for 2 people / 21/2 cups for 4 people), cooked beef, coconut milk and red lentils. Season, then stir to combine and bring to a simmer, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.
• Transfer the lentil dhal mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and lentils have softened, 20-25 minutes. • When the dhal is done, remove from oven, stir through roasted veggies and a splash of water. Season to taste.
• Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry (see ingredients) and place on top of dhal mixture to completely cover. • Gently brush (or spray) pastry with olive oil. Return dhal pie to the oven and bake until pastry is golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Divide Indian beef, lentil and cauliflower dhal filo pie between plates to serve. Enjoy!
