    For a very long time I didn't have a clue that there were that many ways to add lentils to my daily diet!

    I, personally, enjoy lentil dishes if they are tasteful and with that, I mean a lentil dish needs to be spiced or a mixture of herbs needs to be added during the cooking process.

    Do you feel the same way?

    Years ago I had no clue that I would fall in love with Indian lentil recipes the way I did when I got to taste different dishes.

    Lentils are so versatile, you can turn them into soups, curries, appetizers, and even sweets!

    That of course is good news for us because it gets easy to just add lentils to our daily diet if we have more lentil preparation options and recipe ideas.

    So while I could see that people were magically creating wonderful lentil dishes, I was still confused about the dish names and the different Indian lentil dishes.

    So yes, my favorite Indian lentil recipes need to be flavorful, exciting, and pleasing to the eye. Over the years, I extended my knowledge and in the past days I got around to collecting the best Indian lentil recipes from my fellow food blogger friends.

    You can discover all this and more in the delicious Indian lentil recipes below. They are in no particular order.
