Spicy Lentils with Rice
My step daughter loves cooking and she makes some delicious foods. She came across a spicy red lentil recipe once and we tried it. It was yum. I wanted to make it tonight but couldn't find the recipe. This is for Leela. I threw together spices that I thought would recreate the recipe we made together while adding in more heat and warmth that I was craving.

My family like plain boiled rice with every kind of curry, but, particularly with Chicken Tikka Masala (see https://cookpad.wasmer.app/uk/recipes/352376-chicken-tikka-masala?invite_token=m8cJT99fm1wMNcEYHMnxXutF&shared_at=1618842991 ), I like this version of pilau rice, based on Madhur Jaffrey's recipe for Tumeric Rice. It gives the curry an authentic touch.
