Like a warm blanket, a good dahl coats your mouth with comforting sensations. This vegetarian delight starts with butter-sautéed garlic and tomato paste, which soon welcome wholesome red lentils tickled with Indian-style spices. A splash of cream sends the taste and texture heavenward.

Preparation
Make the dahl
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Mince the garlic. In a medium pot, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until dark red. Add the lentils, cream, 3 cups water (double for 4 portions), ⅔ of the spices and S&P; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 min., until the lentils have softened.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lime. Halve the cauliflower if large.
Roast the cauliflower
On a lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower with a generous drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 18 to 20 min., until lightly browned and tender.
Toast the naan
Meanwhile, toast the naan directly on an oven rack, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through. Transfer to a cutting board. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with ½ the lime zest. Cut into wedges.
Finish & serve
To the pot of dahl, add the juice of ½ the lime wedges; stir well. Divide the dahl between your bowls. Top with the cauliflower and naan. Garnish the cauliflower with the remaining lime zest and juice from the remaining lime wedges. Bon appétit!
