1. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in Dutch Baby over medium heat. Add shallot and sliced squash and lower hear to low-medium. Sauté until shallots brown at edges and squash has developed some color.

2. Add in Paro Daal and mix to lightly toast lentils. Add 3 cups of water and cover for 20 minutes.

3. Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in Small Fry and add sliced halloumi. Allow to sear for 1-2 minutes before flipping. Add a teaspoon of Paro Tarka over the halloumi.

4. Serve daal over rice. (The squash should have mixed in with the daal, but leaving bigger chunks is fine, too!) Top with halloumi and fresh cilantro.
