Footnotes

  • Cook's Notes:
  • Cooking oil can be substituted for olive oil; other types of lentils can be substituted for dry green lentils; heavy whipping cream can be substituted for milk, if desired.
  • Garam masala can be found at your local ethnic grocery store or in some large chain grocery stores.
  • Omit butter and cream to make it vegan-- will still taste great.
