Totally fine by me, as I love being able to control all the ingredients that go into my food… meaning light on the onions and turmeric for me!
I am a huge fan of Indian food, but I live in a smallish mountain town and my Indian food options are pretty much non-existent. This means if I want Indian style food, I’m making it myself.

My cousin was just recently in India and she brought me back a cookbook from the area where she was. It’s a small cookbook, but it is filled with traditional Indian recipes. These lentils caught my eye immediately. The simple dish was just what I wanted to make. I added a few things like my all time favorite; Thai curry paste, but for the most part kept the recipe as is.
These lentils are really easy, healthy and perfect for pretty much any night of the week. I like to serve them over a bed of rice with a side of fresh homemade naan. Oh, and most importantly… I love topping my bowl of lentils with some mango salsa. The sweet mangos balance out the spice in the lentils. It’s perfection.
I used a tagine to cook my lentils, which is really fun. If you have a tagine of your own, I highly recommend using it. You can cook veggie dishes and rice in your tagine too. It cooks food evenly and keeps it warm for serving.
