I made this last week for something different to eat. I did make some changes (not many), I used mixed lentils, I didn't have any cheese, and the veggies I used carrots, cucumber, green onion and red pepper because I had to use them up. I did 2 tbsp plain yogurt, because I wanted something creamy, if I had cheese it probably would have taken care of that. The smell reminded me of tzatziki. I will definitely make it again.

I am a retired proofreader and graphic designer. Lifelong love of cooking (and eating, too, of course!). It's wonderful for stress relief. Nurtures the soul as well as the body. I'd call my style "international comfort food."
