Lentils

This is a great way to make lentils more interesting. Lentil Dahl - http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk/lentildahl.html

I'll sometimes mix other kinds of beans with the lentils, like from an Indian grocery store, yellow split mung beans, or something different like that. I soak them a little, about 3/4 cup, and then I'll sautee a half a tomatoe, maybe some squash, and I'll drain the beans, and sautee them also. Oh, before I do all that, I'll sautee some spices, like cumin seeds, coriander seeds, some garlic and ginger. Then I'll add the beans and some vegis, and then I'll add about 7 cups of water, bring to a boil, and cook the beans for about 45 minutes or so. I like to use the garam masala, too, and fresh cilantro. When the beans are soft, I take some of the slightly cooled cooked beans and I'll blend them in a blender, and then put that back into the soup. I like to add a little lemon juice, too. It's so yummy.
