This was great: a terrific mix of textures and colors and easy to throw together. I did double to quadruple all of the spices, so I used 2T curry, I t turmeric 2 t whole cumin seed and 1 t salt. And I added a minced green chile to the ginger/garlic for some heat. Final note: About 15 minutes is sufficient to cook the very small red lentils that I used. Thanks Katel for a great vegan meal!
