Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Cook the chopped red onion in oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, then stir in the ginger, garlic, curry paste, turmeric, and nigella seeds for 1 minute.
Add the lentils, chana dhal, tomatoes, coconut milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 10 minutes.
Cover the skillet or baking dish and bake for 75 minutes, stirring once, until the dhal is tender and thick.
Toss the cauliflower, paneer, sliced red onion, and green chili with oil, then spread them over the dhal and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
Top with coriander and rest the dhal for 5 minutes before serving.
