    Masoor Daal – Indian Red Lentils,These cute legumes are SO yummy! I made this for my nutrition class and it was a huge hit! Options for the vegan version are listed.,Yummy… Kinda glad I accidentally doubled the recipe now :),I followed this recipe exactly as written using tamarind concentrate instead of paste. Way too much cinnamon, it overpowed the entire dish. I will try using maybe half the cinnamon.
