INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 tbsp ghee (or butter)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
- 2 medium red onions
- 1 cup lentils
- 14oz can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp mango powder (optional)
- cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 3 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 large bunch Collard Greens, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
- Cover lentils with 2 cups of water, and boil 30 minutes, or until cooked.
Meanwhile, sautee the onion, garlic, and ginger in the ghee.
When the onion is soft, add the sliced carrots, and sautee for 5 minutes.
Add the spices, canned tomatoes, chopped collard greens and cooked lentils. Simmer for 25 minutes, or until collard greens are done. You may need to add a little water if there isn’t enough in the canned tomatoes.

I love this kind of recipe because it is very forgiving. I didn't have carrots on hand, only sweet onion not red, no canned tomatoes only those on my counter which needed to be used tonight. And, I've never seen mango powder - that in itself sounds delicious! The dish was wonderful; even on a warm summer night, one small bowl goes a long way. I served with crusty bread.
