Hard to believe, but it's true.  I took some liberties with Bengal Red Lentils with Spices.  I dialed the heat way down, and I left out any spices I didn't have on hand.  Because I just wanted to find a way to cook the red lentils I had on hand.

 

From the moment I started frying spices in butter (oohhh, butterrrr), I had their attention.  The whole house smelled wonderful.  And, because I minced the onions VERY fine in the food processor, I didn't even get any complaints about the onions.  This was such a winner, I decided to blog about it.

 

No special skills involved.  Next time, when I know what I'm doing, I can get the kids involved.  I'm sure they'd love to run the mini food processor.
