Pondicherry Lentils

Features:
    Cuisine:

    In Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet, Padma Lakshmi (of Top Chef fame) writes that she named this salad after a town in South India that was heavily influenced by French colonization. She uses black Beluga lentils, which are similar in size to Puy lentils, but the recipe can be made with any lentils; just remember to adjust the cooking time if necessary. This dish improves in flavor the second day.

    Pondicherry Lentils,In “Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet,” Padma Lakshmi (of Top Chef fame) writes that she “named this salad after a town in South India that was heavily influenced by French colonization.” She uses black Beluga lentils, which are similar in size to Puy lentils, but the recipe can be made with any lentils; just remember to adjust the cooking time if necessary. This dish improves in flavor the second day.,Wow! used black beluga and this is an outstanding recipe! You don’t find black beluga recipes often, that’s for sure. Served over brown basmati rice and I believe this would actually make an interesting cold (or at least room temperature) salad for summer picnics, potlucks, etc. PS I added about 1/4 teaspoon dark toasted sesame oil. cg
