Cauliflower butternut curry

Very nice and creamy. I use other seasonings than the ones above- do what you want. Got this from my son— but if you want an instant pot version go to Pinch of yum and look for instant pot cauliflower curry.

Sauté onion about 5 minutes with a bit of oil or water. Add garlic. Simmer a few minutes. Add water, tomatoes, red lentils, seasonings, cauliflower and butternut. Cook till tender about 20 minutes or so. Sometimes I use frozen cubed butternut and cook separately adding at end.  Cook until beans and vegetables are soft. Mash a bit and add coconut milk - serve over rice. 

Some seasonings I like — curry powder, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, Garam  masala, cumin 
 

Vegetable lentil soup

Note: I like some rice added— about a handful uncooked added with the lentils
