NOTES : *Regular brown lentils (sometimes called " green " ), which are the lentils

most commonly found in supermarkets, have their outer seed coat intact. Red and

yellow lentils have had the seed coat removed and are found in specialty stores

such as Middle Eastern or East Indian markets. You can use the red or yellow

varieties here; however, they cook faster. Therefore, allow only about 25

minutes cooking time. You also may need to cook the sauce, uncovered, for 5

minutes more to reach the desired consistency.
