Shelly....yes it is cayenne. Hmm...I've never had that problem. What type of peppers did you use? I have a feeling that your peppers were spicy....sometimes the Anaheims are spicy. Next time you can ask your grocer which peppers are for sure mild and buy those and then add the cayenne pepper to taste. 1/2 teaspoon isn't normally very spicy but everyone's tastes are different so you could add a little at a time until it is perfect for you. Hope that helps!

Wendy!! Love your recipes. Just made this though and it is WAY spicy! In the ingredients you say 1/2 t cayenne pepper but in the recipe you say chili powder. I went with cayenne but now I'm wondering if you meant chili powder in the ingredients?

Btw, for those of you asking where to get the Ghee, whole foods has it and of course Indian Markets do as well.

My family and I went vegetarian in October and since then I've been trying to build up an arsenal of yummy, healthy recipes. My hubby didn't think he'd like this one but we both LOVED it! So tasty & satisfying! We also made the tortilla soup the other day and it was divine, Thank you!!

Great recipe, going to try tonight! Just a note, though - red lentils can't actually be substituted in many recipes because they fall apart, unlike brown or green. Brown & green lentils are meatier and hold their shape. Red lentils are definitely nutritious, but the least nutritious of the varieties.

So I am on maternity leave with my 7 week old and am getting back to cooking. WOW! I made this pie the other day and I could not stop eating it! Tonight was lentils and they were oh, so delicious paired with the fresh samosas I picked up at the Indian grocer.

Thank you!

No but seriously I made the pie for a dinner party I hosted Saturday, and my guests practically put me on their shoulders and cheered "Hooray!"

On another note...couldn't find the ghee at Trader Joe's...suggestions?

I'm going to try both these recipes, and 'hope' that my 10 yr old son will eat the lentils, I know I will love it!

Are the lentils soaked already? or do you used tinned ones? thanks!

Also, but other cookies do you mean ex. oreos? or just the wafer part?

Hope you get to snuggle with your grandbabies soon!

Oh, heavens! I hope you don't mind me saying so, but this pie is THE SHIT. It's just stupid easy, too, for a non-baker like me.

2012-01-27T04:24:46.709-08:00

I read this post last night (I live in Melbourne, Australia) and made it straight away as I had some tomatoes to use up! I also substituted coconut oil for the ghee because I didn't have any to hand, and dried chilli flakes for the chilli plus some cayenne. Great easy recipe, thank you WWW.

2012-01-26T20:16:19.627-08:00

Not gonna lie, I thought the red lentils were going to be in the chocolate pie! Whew!

After seeing this my husband has requested this pie for his birthday tomorrow. :)

Made the dahl for lunch today - beautiful!! Thank you :) I did substitute the the for coconut oil to make it vegan, and chillies like you describe are hard to come by in New Zealand so I had to use dried ones, but still very very tasty :) Cant wait to try the pie, thanks so much for the lovely recipes.

Dear Wendy, You expressed perfectly how I feel as a grandmother to two adorable granddaughters (second one only four weeks old)! May I quote you on Facebook to my friends? Those paragraphs you wrote are absolute perfection...I'd crawl on my hands and knees to get to those little girls ~ 70 miles away! Thank you for stating it so clearly ~

I love lentils but have never tried them in an Indian recipe. This just may be the inspiration I need - the recipe looks simple and delicious! As for the pie, well ... the lentils can be the pre-atonement. Thanks for sharing WWW!
