DAL MAKHANI (INDIAN LENTILS)
Ever go to an Indian restaurant and wonder how they make those lentils? I hated lentils before I discovered Indian food. Then I scoured the internet to figure out how they achieved them, and through mixing and matching recipes and methods on videos, I've arrived at this recipe, which I think is pretty close. This version is very rich, but you can leave out the cream to make it lighter. Kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves) is almost impossible to find in the U.S., even in NYC, but it gives this dish something very special.

This is a comfort-food that is an adaptation of a Sara Moulton recipe. Basmati rice with the added flavors of whole spices toasted in oil, with lentils and potatoes. A bit of work, but well worth the effort.

LENTIL PILAF
A recipe from Ricardo that can be frozen and used in recipe#340401 . Edit : I made it on Nov 26, 2008, and I used red lentils. They're smaller so it tooked only 10-15 minutes of cooking. But it was like a puree. I'm going to use half of it to do the soup that I mention in this recipe.
