Red lentil porridge with curry
Description
This red lentil curry porridge recipe is an absolute must to keep on hand. First of all, lentils themselves are incredibly healthy and should be cooked at least occasionally. Secondly, lentils are very easy to prepare—faster than peas or beans, since they don't require soaking. Thirdly, this porridge doesn't need salt and can be eaten without bread—making it an excellent dish for diabetics. Lentil porridge turns out very filling, yet low in calories.
