This is a staple dish in India where I grew up, and something you could cook any time of the year since it doesn’t need too many ingredients. It’s just as tasty as the more complicated versions that you can find in recipe books. I eat this with roti, brown rice, or make it more watery for a tasty soup. The advantage to having this outside India is that you don’t have to watch out for the occasional small stone mixed in with the lentils :)

First time I made this the cooking time was way too long. I’d say more like 45 min. V. tasty marinade! Goes great with a salad.

Swap out any of the veggies for what ever you like. Add potato for heavier dressing or replace grapes with honey or brown sugar for sweetening to your taste.

Since you are not greasing the pan, you can grind raw oats and add a thin layer of oat powder below each cookie to reduce burning.

Try bananas, mango, apples, pears …

This is a great option for a kids birthday cake! Thanks Theresa for that idea, and good luck!
