I used a different type of lentils than the recipe called for, and it turned out fine. This recipe is very forgiving.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used mild curry powder. The curry still had a lot of flavor, but it wasn't too spicy for me.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

I'm not usually a fan of lentil curries, but this one changed my mind. The spices are well-balanced and the lentils have a nice bite to them.
