Curried Lentils image

Sometimes you can't improve on a basic recipe. This is an example. I found this recipe in an old New York Times Cookbook and I go to it again and again because it always comes out perfectly. Serve the lentils on a platter surrounded by a ring of jasmine rice. Also wonderful paired with chicken. Any type of lentil works great--I use yellow lentils.
