Meanwhile, put the butternut squash cubes on a baking tray and spray light them, then pop in oven for about 15 minutes, keep your eye on them, you want them cooked but firm.
Add the curry powder to the frying pan and cook for a further minute. Add the lentils & stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer until cooked, soft and stock absorbed (approx. 20 mins)
Once lentils are cooked, allow to cool slightly and then add the butternut squash, egg and peas. Stir until combined.
