Preparation:

This is a traditional Indian dish made with lentils, tomatoes, onions, and spices. This one is chunkier than most. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 5 ingredients (onion through garlic); saute 2 minutes. Add cauliflower and tomato; saute 1 minute. Stir in water and lentils; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 35 minutes or until lentils are tender. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Serve with rice. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup lentil mixture and 1 cup rice).
