  2. Roast the veggies for 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. While the veggies are roasting, heat some oil/water in a large skillet. Add in the onion, garlic, and ginger, and saute for 5-6 minutes..
  4. To the pan, add in spices and incorporate well with a spatula; once fragrant, stir in the tomatoes, lentils, and water.
  5. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  6. After the 10 minutes, the roasted veggies should be done -- add them into the skillet along with the coconut milk.
  7. Stir well and cover again for 5-10 more minutes, cooking until the lentils are tender. Remove from heat and serve warm.
