When you refer to 14 oz ready made lentils are you referring to canned lentils or previously cooked lentils. If previously cooked lentils, what is the measurement needed to end up with 14 oz of ready made lentils. The recipe sound very tasty, I'm eager to give it a try.

Hi Tamara

I used canned on this one.
I would use about 3/4 - 1 cup dried red lentils.

Tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious. Thai curry meets Indian curry. I see you have listed lemon on the ingredient list, however it is nowhere to be found in the body of the recipe. Also, on the recipe body you mention butter, but it's not listed in the ingredients list. How much did you add? And when did you add the lemon?
Thank you! Great recipe!!
