Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Add squash, half the Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle the of oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 20-22 min.
While squash roasts, peel, then finely grate ginger. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Rinse lentils in a strainer until water runs clear. Roughly chop spinach
Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4-6 min. Add ginger and Indian Spice Mix. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Add lentils, broth concentrate, coconut milk and 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Hey Taylor! Please note how long it took to come to a boil, then confirm cook time at medium for lentils. Thanks! Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until lentils are tender, 12-15 min. (NOTE: If needed, thin out with 1-2 tbsp water.)
While lentils cook, stir together half the cilantro, remaining Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and 1 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Arrange flatbread on an unlined baking sheet. Spread spiced oil onto tops of flatbreads. Season with salt and pepper. Toast in the top of the oven until golden and crisp, 5-6 min.
Add roasted squash and spinach to the pot with lentils. Cook, stirring until spinach wilts, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide stew between bowls. Sprinkle crispy shallots and cilantro over top. Serve golden flatbread on the side for dipping.
