Had a momentary panic last night when I realized I was somehow out of masoor dal, the red lentils we prefer in Sri Lanka. But I did have plenty of split green lentils (moong dal) on hand, so I thought I’d try subbing those in — they’re good!
They take maybe 15 minutes longer to cook, and the end result is a different color and slightly different flavor, but still delicious, which is all that really matters…
