Notes
Sev are Indian fried chickpea noodles. If you can’t find any in the shops you could use a bag of Bombay mix as an alternative. Though not the healthiest item, when consumed in moderation like in this recipe, we think they add a satisfying crunch. If you’d rather not use them, you can add some mixed seeds instead.

Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
Place the carrots and parsnips onto a baking tray. Pour over the chickpeas, garam masala, chilli powder, olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt. Toss to coat. Place into the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chickpeas are crispy.
Place all ingredients for the chutney into a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt to taste.
Stir together the tamarind paste and date syrup.
Place the kale and cooled, roasted vegetables onto a tray. Dollop with Greek yoghurt, drizzle over the tamarind and date mixture and chutney. Sprinkle with sev and pomegranate and serve.

I really enjoyed this - the combinations of flavours is delicious. I found the chutney a bit thick, so loosened it off with olive oil. I also added cumin seeds to the roasted veg.
It was pretty obvious by the pictures to me but the method didn’t say how to prepare the veg, esp thinking of the less competent cook.
I also doubled the kale and GM and felt the quantity overall was not really enough for 6.
Also needed to loosen down the tahini dressing as very thick, definitely not pourable.
But we enjoyed and will do so again today with the remainder but not outstanding but used up,the ingredients I needed to, ie carrots, parsnip and chickpeas!
