Daring Dhal

Finally made a real dinner from a cookbook tonight for the first time in ages and it was delicious! It's from the book Hot and Spicy and Meatless. I was hoping it would be somewhat hotter but it was still very flavorful. One thing if any of you want to make it--lentils apparently expand A TON when you cook them so I ended up with like 3 cups too

you could freeze your cooked lentils in separate servings that you could add to different recipes like soups, rice and whatnot.

you can make a side dish

1 cup cooked lentils
1 can corn
1/2 cup Italian-style salad dressing
1 small onion, chopped
1 large ripe tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

mix it up in a bowl, refrigerate at least 30 minutes before service.

That sounds yummy, thanks!

MMm, Dhal Palak. Also good with split peas. The way my husband makes it, we also use spinach. I would also recommend kale if you'd rather have that than spinach.

If you want other lentil recipes, I'd look into a sausage-lentil stew, but without the sausage (easy enough to do). I have another one somewhere that takes less time to make, though. I'll try to post it soon if I remember.

5 jalapeno chiles! Is it too hot?

[slfcllednowhere]

I actually wanted it to be hotter! But then, I am from Texas and used to very spicy things...

[mentalika]

Even hotter! :) I'll try your recipe))

Oh, how many cups of yogurt?
