NOTES

Can use vadouvan instead of curry powder. With 1 lb pkg of lentils (about 3 1/2 cups) and 1 cup barley (no potatoes, but roughly the same points if you substitute 2 good sized yukon potatoes for 1 cup barley), pot is about 40 weight watcher points ( about 55 points plus). So roughly 8-10 points per large serving, not counting any added cheese.
