Warm Lentil Salad

February 15, 2014 By Dipti 4 Comments

 

Warm Lentil Sald

I saw this dish while I was surfing food channels and I liked it for its simplicity. It was quick to make, and turned out to be awesome.

 

We generally don’t have the concept of a warm salad in India. It is very different from our usual Indian flavors. The original recipe uses 1 tablespoon of sour cream  added on the top as garnish, but it tastes great even without the sour cream. The green cucumber gives a nice crunch to every bite.

 

I have discovered that it is gluten free and is vegan too. So all my vegetarian and vegan friends can indulge without guilt. So here’s a healthy, nutritious, fiber-laden, protein filled bowl of warm salad.

 

Try this dish for some new flavors at your table and do write to in about your experience.
