Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Put the aubergine on a baking tray, toss with 1 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 mins. (Alternatively, place in an air-fryer at 180°C for around 15 mins.)
Add ½ tbsp of olive oil to a lidded saucepan and gently fry the garlic for a few mins before adding the tomato purée, cumin, turmeric and a splash of water to loosen.
Layer the tomatoes and onion over the spiced mixture, along with the roasted aubergine and half the drained lentils. Top with around 150ml water, then cover with the lid and leave to simmer for a further 15 mins.
Mix the yogurt, mint, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl. Season, then spread onto a serving platter.
Add the remaining lentils to a frying pan with the remaining ½ tbsp of oil. Season and fry for around 5-6 mins until crispy, then set aside.
Once the tomatoes and onions have softened, scoop onto the yogurt base, top with a few sprinkles of extra mint and top with the crispy lentils and crispy fried onions. Serve with the flatbreads.
