Low household staples and coming out of a flu-induced fog, I searched the pantry today for something I could make that would be 1) warm & hearty, and 2) simple: something that could be prepared almost entirely from the couch.
1/2 c. red lentils
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. onion
1 T. butter
1 T. olive oil
1 t. chicken curry masala
1-1/2 c. water
Add the milk to the lentils, and soak in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
Saute the onion in the butter and oil until softened. Add the lentils & milk, and the curry masala, and the water. Simmer for 1/2 hour, or until lentils are soft.
Serve over rice, with lemon, if desired.
