Z & I love this dish. It’s easier on their tummies than beans and they tend it’s favour smooth textures. Lentils simmered with a bay leaf and yogurt with a pinch of cumin … Lentil Parfait! Although I’ve listed green lentils here, any lentils will do. Be sure to follow the package instructions on how to cook them as some take longer than others.
I usually serve this with peas or broccoli which seems to make a nice compliment as it always gets eaten in its entirety.
