This is a *really* wonderful lentil recipe, but I'll warn you... THIS IS
NOT FAT FREE OR LOW FAT. It contains a fair amount of butter. I'm going to
work on a version that cuts out the butter, I'll post it when I get a good
one!
Sautee the garlic in the butter until browned.  While the garlic is
sauteeing, mix the dry spices with 2 Tbsp water to make a paste.  Add the
paste to the browned garlic and stir for a couple minutes.  Add the lentils
(make sure to rinse them) and stir for a few minutes.  Add 2 1/2 cups water
and simmer for an hour.  Serves 4.  It's great by itself or with rice!

Subject: Re: Great lentil recipe! I'm sure you were trying to be nice, but
this really irked me.  Please do post the yummy recipe when it is fat free
or low fat -- but NOT now!  It's easy to find tasty recipes that have a ton
of butter.  That's not why this list was created. This is not a generic
vegetarian mailing list -- this list is called fatfree. It is for support
for those people, and their families and friends, who are following a
McDougall or Ornish-sytle vegetarian diet.  It is no fun to see recipes
that are purported to be wonderful that we can't eat!!!!!!!!! Frustrated,
Cindy
