- Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Tip the parsnip cubes onto a baking tray and sprinkle over 1 tsp ground cumin and ½ tsp turmeric. Drizzle over 1½ tbsp oil and toss everything together, so the spices and oil coat the parsnips. Season and roast for 25-30 mins until golden brown and tender.
- Meanwhile, heat ½ tbsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for 10-15 mins until soft and lightly golden. Stir in the ginger, garlic and chilli and fry for another 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the remaining cumin, turmeric, lentils and the stock. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat slightly to medium-low. Cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally and topping up with a little more water if it’s all been absorbed, then remove the lid and simmer for another 5-10 mins until the lentils have broken down and the dhal has thickened.
- Heat the roti in the oven for 4-5 mins on a baking tray until warmed through. Stir most of the roasted parsnips into the dhal, then top with the remaining. Using a spatula, scrape any of the spiced oil from the roasting tin over the top. Serve with the warmed roti for scooping up the dhal.
