Get ahead
The dhal keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days, or can be frozen.

Finely shred 50g of the Brussels sprouts and cut the rest in half. Heat a little oil in a saucepan and add the halved sprouts, stir-fry for a few minutes, then add the ginger, lentils, tomatoes, cauliflower, paprika and cumin. Stir everything together, then add the vegetable stock, cardamom pods and cloves and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes until the lentils have completely broken down and the veg is tender.

Season well. Add the coconut milk and shredded sprouts. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove the whole spices and serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over.
