Directions
Awesome Sambhar,This is a very simple lentil curry, with an irresitable Indian flavor and not too much heat. My idea of comfort food. Plus:it’s no problem to get it on the table, with rice and a salad, in under an hour.,I thought this was good, but not spectacular. It was definitely too bland for me, even after adding extra curry powder, chili, and salt. Next time I’ll probably just double all of the spices. Otherwise, no complaints. Since it makes a lot (for one person at least) I mixed it with rice and froze it in individual portions. It freezes and reheats very well.
