Looking for some good lentil recipes. I love them and want to find some dishes the wife and kids are cool with. Anyone have any good ones?
'clams is a great poster, but his views on lentils:
Split red lentils are great because they don't take very long to cook, but are still v. v. good.
I make something close to this recipe once every two weeks or so:

-Since there are so many spices in this recipe and getting them all out and preparing them takes a long time, I keep an extra tupperware or two out and fill a few containers full of the spice mixture for the next time. That way it's basically an instant dinner whenever I want them.
-I have subbed canned tomatoes for fresh and it's easier/basically just as good.
-I almost never have chiles or fresh ginger, but it's still good without them.
-Have served this for company over rice and w/ naan and gotten rave reviews every time.
Enjoy, @Casey.
