Light and Healthy Recipe of the Week: Alva Carpenter’s Slimlines Special (September 2006 Edition)

    This is a great meal, and it is easy to make. However, I think it serves at least 4 as a main dish, and the ingredients are a little unclear. Green lentils are not the same as mung/ moong beans; used the beans, but others may not be familiar with them as I am, so there should be instructions for cooking them. I only used about 1/4 tsp cayenne and omitted the green chile, and that was the right heat for our tastes. With the lemon juice and cilantro, it was especially tasty. Even my dad liked it. Glad I made this! Thanks!
