I was out of several of the spices so instead I added tho the onion/garlic combo 3 tbsps of a Tandoori curry paste made by PATAK. I let it cook for the same 2 minutes and then continued with the recipe. Easy and delicious.

As long as it isn't eaten often - lentils are sort of out of the question.

I omitted the curry powder,served it on instant white rice, garished it with diced tomatoes, young green onion tops, and used sriracha and ginger paste
