\nIt was one of those days when I didn\u2019t want to put a lot of thought into what I\u2019d make for dinner; I opted for easy vegetarian fare: masoor dal (red lentils, aka football lentils) \u2013 orange in the package but yellow after cooking \u2013 prepared with chopped onions, garlic, ginger and a bunch of Indian spices and herbs including curry leaves, plus fresh spinach (palak) to greenify it. On the side, two kinds of papadums, thin Indian crisps that fry up in a trice.<\/p>\n

It was also one of those days when I didn\u2019t write down which spices and herbs I had used because I was too hungry to care and then the dish turned out to be great.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll never learn.
