  • 1 cup (270g) cashew masala simmer sauce
  • 400 gram canned brown lentils, rinsed, drained

Notes

You will need a 20cm x 30cm ovenproof dish. You can use prepared peeled, chopped pumpkin to save time; it's available from most greengrocers and major supermarkets. Paneer is a type of cheese popular in India. It is available from major supermarkets and Indian food stores. Omit the chilli if you like.
