Dal

This is an Indian dish made with lentils ("dal" means lentils.)  I actually used the Yellow Split Pea Dal recipe from The Vegan Table, but used brown lentils.  It also has Indian spices, onion, garlic, and tomatoes.  Recently, I made a similar dal, but added Japanese sweet potatoes and garam masala powder (following a recipe from The Happy Herbivore as a guide.)

This recipe is so easy and makes the house smell good.  I've also let it cook in a slow cooker, but stove top is easy, too.

The tofu in this picture was marinated in Thai Tom-Yam soup mix.  It was okay.
