  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Dilute the vegetable stock with 280ml hot water (double for 4p).
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Peel and grate the ginger. Cut the lime into thick wedges.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
  • Cut the broccoli into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
Start the Stock

  • In a pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the onion, garlic and ginger for 1-2 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve. Add the lentils and diluted stock to the pot.
  • Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring frequently. Add a little water if the lentils stick.
Thicken the Stew
3
  • Add the coconut milk to the pot.
  • Simmer for another 12-15 mins, covered, until the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally.
Add the Broccoli

  • When the stew has 5-8 mins left to cook, add the broccoli to the pot.
  • Season with salt and pepper, mix well, cover and simmer.
  • Lightly moisten the naan breads with a little water.
  • Bake them for 3-5 mins to warm them up.

  • Mix well and cook for 2 mins.
