Who doesn’t love Indian food? It’s one of my favorite things to eat. Especially lentils and naan. This is a easy and filling dish to make. So yummy too!
Indian Lentils
½ cup red lentils
½ cup yellow lentils
2 TSB apple cider vinegar
3 cups water
Leave to soak for at least seven hours. Then strain off the water and add 3 fresh cups of water and add:
4 dried red chilies
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 TBS freshly grated ginger
2 TBS butter
Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes until soft.
While the lentils are cooking sauté:
1 medium onion sliced
2 medium tomatoes chopped
2 jalapeños thinly sliced
½ tsp yellow mustard seeds
½ tsp black mustard seeds
1 TBS butter
When the lentils are soft and the onion mixture is cooked mix together and add salt to taste. Great when served with brown rice or flat bread.

I like that you used red and yellow lentils, the dish must look so pretty!
Sounds amazing! I want to go!
Danny and I just went to all you can eat indian food (yeah is was expensive, but it was fun). TO DIE FOR! So stinking good. I need to start making more indian and thai food.
I miss those adventures too! Come down so we can have an other one. Janet had a kitchen now! =)
I miss them too! You got to come down so we can have another cooking adventure!
i miss our indian food creating adventures 🙂 those lentils sound so yummy!
Mine too! It’s a wonder why it cost so much at a restaurant. That and Mexican food!
I love Indian food! One of my favorites. 🙂 And it’s generally so frugal too.
