from my sister (I don't know where she got it)
2 C. dry lentils, picked over and rinsed
28-30 oz. chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 C. water
1 1/2 C chopped carrots
1 1/2 C chopped onion
1 C sliced celery (I use 2 cups because I like celery)
3 tsp. curry powder
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp freshly grated ginger or 1/4 tsp. dried ground ginger
1/8 fresh pepper
1 8 oz. carton plain yogurt
1 medium tomato, diced
1 TBSP snipped fresh parsley or cilantro
pita wedges or naan to serve
1. In a large saucepan combine everything except the yogurt, tomato and parsley/cilantro. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 30 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl stil together the yogurt, tomato and parsley or cilantro. Serve over lentil mixture.
3. Dip pita or naan into it. Devour.
