from my friend Farley
India - all year

Ingredients:

1 1/2 - 2 cups dried red lentils rinsed and checked for stones (I can only find them in bulk in health food aisle, they actually look orange and turn yellow when cooked)
8 - 10 medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cubed.
water to cover with more as it cooks down
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp red cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Put all ingredients into a large high-sided pan and simmer on low for about an hour, stirring often so it doesn't stick, until lentils and potatoes are cooked thoroughly. You may also want to add more water for the consistency you desire. It will get very thick as it cooks down.

Remarks:

I serve this over a large bed of leafy greens and brown rice. I also steamed broccoli last night to serve on top of it.
