Today i am going to share a very easy and delicious recipe for lentils. Lentils are a staple in any Pakistani/Indian household.
There are so many kind of lentils and are so versatile. They can be cooked on their own or can be cooked with vegetables or any kind of meat.
This is a very basic recipe, two different kind of lentils cooked together. This dish is the ultimate comfort food for me. I love my lentils over a bed of white rice and side of fresh salad and plain yogurt.
