2. In a small bowl, mix the turmeric, cumin, ground chilies, coriander, cinnamon, fenugreek, and fennel seeds. Set aside.
3. Place the cauliflower florets on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil, half of the spice blend, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, arrange in a single layer, and roast for 40 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. While the cauliflower roasts, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until soft, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Add the remaining spice blend, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Add the crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 minutes, stirring often. Add more stock if needed.
7. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Blend the sauce until smooth, if desired.
8. Combine the cooked cauliflower and drained lentils with the sauce in the skillet. Heat through over medium heat.
9. Garnish with chopped cilantro, lime zest, and extra lime juice before serving.
