Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari)

Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is such a wonderful dish and so easy to cook! The keys to this dish are the yellow lentils, fried potatoes, and cumin seed. You can change out the other vegetables (spinach is a nice addition as it adds to the creaminess of the dish). Make sure you fry the cumin seed and potatoes over sufficiently high heat that the cumin…

Amazing Red Lentil and Tomato Soup

Amazing Red Lentil and Tomato Soup by John Spottiswood

I never thought I would have a red lentil soup that could match the Turkish red lentil soup that I have been served in Turkish restaurants and that I've learned to make. So I had low expectations for this Indian spiced version. It completely destroyed my expectations and was absolutely delicious. It was great last night, and I had…

Simple Yellow Dal

Simple Yellow Dal by Mihir Shah

Simple Indian lentil soup - great served with rice and yogurt. Masoor dal is actually a little orange in color when you buy it but turns yellow after cooking!

Curry Lentil Soup

Curry Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

This is a surprisingly light and tangy lentil soup. If you are used to thick and heavy lentil soups, this one will surprise you. It's very tasty and was a great complement to the pizza recipe I just put up. This is also adapted from a Greens restaurant recipe.

Eurasian Lemon Soup with Chick Peas

Eurasian Lemon Soup with Chick Peas by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a wonderfully flavored soup that is good for the first course of a dinner party, or the main meal for a regular weeknight. And it's extremely quick and easy to prepare, especially if you use canned chick peas. Serve it with crusty artisan bread. If you are meat eaters, you can add a little rotisserie chicken to it, but don't…

MIXED LENTILS by MARIA LOURDES V. LIPARDO-AYUB

Lentils are being underrated by many but these are nutritious and delicious if cooked properly. This combination of lentils makes a difference. This Indian dish gives me so much appreciation from the people who taste it.

Gujarati Dal

Gujarati Dal by Mihir Shah

This is comfort food my mom has made for as long as I've been around. She's been able to hook my kids on it; Dal is a healthy way to get protein into their diet. I serve it with some rice and yogurt. It also holds its flavor really well as a leftover snack.

Spicy Lentil & Bean Soup

Spicy Lentil & Bean Soup by The Kitchen Magpie - Karlynn Johnston

I have been looking for more ways to serve beans and lentils that aren’t boring, since my non-meat eating son needs protein in his meals. And the fact that they are incredibly healthy for us is a huge bonus as well. Soup is a great way to incorporate lentils and beans into your diet, especially since it is so satisfying in the…

korean kongnamul guk (soybean sprout soup)

korean kongnamul guk (soybean sprout soup) by jason kim

We had a very simple soup the other day called kongnamul guk (beansprout soup) and it couldn't have tasted better with its mild and refreshing broth. We are accustomed to eating spicy jjigaes (soup/stew) that Korean food is known for, so it was a nice change of pace to get something light and clean. The broth is made from boiling…
